Directions

  1. 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.

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.
