Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Sliced bread
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Use a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut a 2-inch hole in the center of each slice of bread. Save the cut-out circles if desired for toasting alongside.
Spread a thin layer of butter on both sides of each bread slice and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Crack one egg into a small bowl to ensure there are no shells, then carefully pour the egg into the center hole of one bread slice. Repeat for the remaining slices.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over each egg to season.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny. If you prefer firmer yolks, bake for an additional 2 minutes.
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for added flavor, if desired.
Serve immediately while the toast is warm and crispy. Enjoy this sunny and satisfying meal!
