Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 slice low-carb bread slice
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Use a round cookie cutter or a small glass to cut a circle out of the center of the low-carb bread slice.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter.
Once the butter has melted and is slightly sizzling, place the bread slice and the cut-out circle in the skillet.
Crack the egg into the hole of the bread slice. Season with salt and black pepper.
Cook until the egg white is mostly opaque and set, about 3-4 minutes.
Carefully flip the entire bread slice with the egg using a spatula. Also, flip the cut-out circle.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the egg yolk reaches your desired doneness.
Remove the egg in the basket and the toasted circle from the skillet.
Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
