Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Thick slices of bread
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut a circular hole in the center of each slice of bread. Set the cut-out circles aside (you can toast them later if desired).
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan, letting it melt and coat the surface evenly.
Place one slice of bread in the pan and let it toast lightly for about 1 minute.
Crack one egg into the hole in the center of the bread. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the egg.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the egg white starts to set. Carefully flip the bread slice using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side or until the egg reaches your desired doneness.
Repeat the process with the second slice of bread, adding the remaining butter to the pan beforehand.
Remove both pieces of bread with cooked eggs from the pan. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
Serve immediately while warm. Optionally toast and butter the cut-out bread circles as a fun side.
