Equipment

  • 1 cookie cutter
  • 1 frying pan with lid

Ingredients

  • 2 pieces sliced white bread
  • 2 eggs
  • 20 grams butter

Instructions

  • Leave butter at room temperature to soften before spreading on one side of both pieces of bread (all the way to the edges).
  • Using a cookie cutter, cut a hole in the centre of each slice of bread.
  • Place slices and cut out pieces into frypan (buttered side down) and cook on medium heat until browned on one side.
  • Flip over the slices and cut outs and turn heat down to low.
  • Crack each egg and gently pour one into each hole in the sliced bread.
  • Place lid on frying pan and cook for about 5 minutes or until whites of the egg are cooked through.
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  1. Your cookie cutter should cut out about ⅓ of the entire area of the sliced bread.
  2. Ensure heat is low and you pour eggs gently into the hole to keep egg yolk intact.
