Ingredients
- 1 Large egg
- 1 Slice of bread (white or whole wheat)
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Pepper
- 0 Optional toppings (e.g., shredded cheese, chopped parsley, or ketchup)
Directions
Step 1
Use a cookie cutter, a small glass, or a knife to cut out a circular hole (about 2 inches in diameter) in the center of the bread slice.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Let it melt and spread evenly in the skillet.
Step 3
Place the bread slice in the skillet. Toast the bread for about 1 minute on one side, then flip it over.
Step 4
Gently crack the egg into the hole in the center of the bread. Be careful not to break the yolk.
Step 5
Let the egg cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolk is still runny (or cook longer if you prefer a firmer yolk).
Step 6
Season the egg with a pinch of salt and pepper. Optionally, you can sprinkle shredded cheese or parsley on top for extra flavor.
Step 7
Carefully transfer the Egg in a Frame to a plate using a spatula. Serve immediately, optionally alongside the bread cut-out you toasted in the pan as a mini bonus bite.
Step 8
Enjoy this fun and easy breakfast dish!
