4 Servings

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoon room temperature butter
  • 4 slices white bread
  • 4 eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Special supplies: 1 heart cookie cutter

Instructions

  • Prepare the bread by laying it down on a hard surface and using the cookie cutter to punch a heart-shaped hole in the center of the bread. Be sure that the surrounding bread stays intact. If you allow it to open the egg will not stay inside the bread.
  • Spread 2 tbsp. of butter on both sides of the bread and the heart cutout. Then, melt the other 2 tbsp. in a pan over medium- low heat.
  • Crack the eggs in to 4 separate cups.
  • Lay the bread into the pan carefully and allow it to toast on one side. Then, flip the bread over and carefully pour the egg into the heart-shaped hole in the bread.
  • Cook for 5-6 minutes over a low heat, or until the white part of the egg is set.
  • Then, remove from the pan and season with salt and pepper.
  • Toast the remaining heart cut outs in the pan and serve alongside the egg-in-toast.
  • ***If you do not like a runny yolk, skip the bread toasting in step 4 and go right to pouring the egg in the bread. Then, after 5-6 minutes, carefully flip the bread over and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
