Ingredients

- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper
Directions
- Cut a hole in the bread using a steak knife and a cup as an outline. Don’t throw away the circle you cut out.

- Put a small amount of oil in the hole and drop the egg in. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Flip and cook for 30 more seconds, then remove from the griddle.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then start dipping the toasted bread in the yolk!
Additional Notes
For a crispier texture, use a thicker slice of bread. You can also experiment with different seasonings or add cheese for extra flavor.
Tips & Tricks
- Make sure to toast the bread just enough to add a nice crunch without burning it.
- The small bread circle you cut out makes a perfect dipper for the yolk.
