Ingredients
- 1 slice brioche sandwich bread
- 2 teaspoons salted butter
- 1 large egg
- Kosher salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Using a cookie or biscuit cutter, cut out a 2 & ½ inch to 3-inch hole in the center of the bread, set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter and swirl it around the pan. Add the bread and the cutout piece of bread to the skillet. Let cook for 3 minutes.
- Flip the piece of bread over. Gently place the egg in the center of the hole, making sure not to break the yolk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover and cook for an additional 3 minutes or until the egg whites are set and opaque. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use your favorite bread, we like brioche. See some of our ideas above.
- You can cook the egg as much as you like, we like sunny side up. If you want your yolk harder just cook longer.
- Do not discard the circle piece, toast this up along with it. It makes a great egg dipper.
- You can use a cookie or biscuit cutter for the center off the bread to make the hole.
- Double or triple this recipe and make as much as you'd like.
- Add cheese, chives, green onions, salsa etc to the egg to give it more flavor.
- Try to scramble your egg if you are not a runny egg person.
