Instructions
Cut the Hole
Use a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut a circle from the center of the bread slice. Save the cut-out round for toasting alongside.
Butter and Toast
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the bread slice and the small round into the pan and toast for about 1 minute until the bottom is golden.
Cook the Egg
Flip the bread, crack the egg directly into the hole, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the white is set but the yolk remains slightly runny. Serve immediately.
