Ingredients
- 1 slice Sprouted grain bread
- 1 Egg
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Use a round cookie cutter (or the rim of a glass) to cut a hole about 2-3 inches in diameter in the center of the sprouted grain bread slice.
Step 2
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter, swirling it around to coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
Step 3
Place the bread slice into the skillet and toast it lightly for 1-2 minutes until golden brown on the bottom.
Step 4
Crack the egg carefully into the hole in the center of the bread. Sprinkle the egg with salt and black pepper.
Step 5
Cook the egg for 3-4 minutes, or until the egg white is mostly set but the yolk is still runny. For a firmer yolk, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Step 6
Carefully flip the bread and egg using a spatula. Cook for another 1 minute for a lightly runny yolk or 2 minutes for a firmer yolk.
Step 7
Remove the Egg in a Sprouted Nest from the skillet and transfer it to a plate.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, for a burst of color and flavor.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your nourishing breakfast!
