Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Whole grain bread slice
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Take your slice of whole grain bread and use a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out a circle in the center of the bread. Set the cut-out aside for toasting (optional).
Brush both sides of the bread with olive oil, spreading evenly to ensure a light coating.
Place the prepared bread slice on the lined baking sheet.
Crack the egg into the circular hole in the bread, making sure the yolk stays intact. If the egg overflows, you can use paper towels to wipe up excess from the baking sheet.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper (if using) over the egg.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolk is cooked to your liking.
Carefully remove from the oven and transfer the bread to a plate. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your healthy, no-fry Egg in the Whole!
