Ingredients
- 1 slice bread of choice
- 1 large egg
- ½ tablespoon grass-fed butter, ghee, or a drizzle of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut a hole in the center of your bread using a small round cutter, shot glass, or knife. Aim for about 2 inches wide.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium and melt butter (or drizzle olive oil) to coat the bottom evenly.
- Place the bread and the cut-out center into the skillet. Toast for about 1 minute until the bottom of the bread begins to brown lightly.
- Crack the egg directly into the hole of the bread. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the whites to set while the yolk remains runny.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Carefully flip the bread and egg to cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until the egg reaches your desired doneness.
- Transfer to a plate, serve, and enjoy! Don’t forget to dip the toasted cut-out in that luscious yolk.
