Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Eggs
- 1 Bread slices
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh herbs (optional, such as chives or parsley)
Instructions
Start by toasting the bread: Use a toaster or toaster oven to toast the bread slice until it is golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Swirl the pan gently to coat the bottom with the oil.
Crack the egg into a small bowl to ensure there are no shells, then gently pour it into the heated skillet.
Allow the egg to cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the egg whites have set and the edges are beginning to brown. If you prefer the yolk more cooked, cover the skillet with a lid to help set the yolk.
While the egg is cooking, butter the toasted bread slice using a knife or a small spatula.
Once the egg is cooked to your liking, carefully transfer it onto the buttered toast using a spatula.
Season the fried egg with salt and black pepper to taste. If desired, sprinkle fresh herbs on top for an added burst of flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious fried egg on toast.
