Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 slices Bread slices
- 1 clove Garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
1. Peel the garlic clove and cut it in half. Set it aside.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the bread slices and toast each side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
3. Remove the toasted bread from the skillet and immediately rub one side of each slice with the cut side of the garlic clove. Set the garlic toast aside.
4. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and reduce the heat to medium-low.
5. Crack the eggs into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks. Sprinkle the eggs with salt and black pepper.
6. Cook the eggs until the whites are set and the edges are slightly crispy, about 3-4 minutes. For sunny-side-up eggs, do not flip them; if you prefer over-easy, carefully flip the eggs and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
7. Spread 1 tablespoon of butter evenly across the garlic-rubbed side of the toast slices.
8. Place one fried egg on top of each slice of garlic toast.
9. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
