Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 slice Gluten-free bread
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Use a round cookie cutter or the rim of a small glass to cut a hole in the center of the gluten-free bread slice. Save the removed round piece.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter. Allow it to melt and coat the frying pan evenly.
Place the gluten-free bread slice in the skillet. Crack the egg into the hole of the bread.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Cook on one side for approximately 4-5 minutes, or until the egg white is mostly set.
Carefully flip the bread with the egg over to the other side using a spatula. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the egg is cooked to your liking.
While the main piece cooks, place the circular cut-out in the pan and cook until golden brown, flipping halfway through.
Serve the Gluten-Free Egg in a Basket hot with the toasted round piece on the side.
