Directions
Step 1
Use a round cookie cutter or the rim of a small glass to cut a hole in the center of the gluten-free bread slice. Save the removed round piece.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 5
Cook on one side for approximately 4-5 minutes, or until the egg white is mostly set.
Step 6
Carefully flip the bread with the egg over to the other side using a spatula. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the egg is cooked to your liking.
Step 7
While the main piece cooks, place the circular cut-out in the pan and cook until golden brown, flipping halfway through.
Step 8
Serve the Gluten-Free Egg in a Basket hot with the toasted round piece on the side.
