Start your morning with a classic comfort dish that's as whimsical as it is delicious—Paula Deen's One Eyed Sailor. This quick and easy breakfast recipe features a golden butter-toasted slice of bread with a perfectly cooked, sunny egg nestled right in the center. With just five simple ingredients—bread, egg, butter, salt, and black pepper—it’s a satisfying meal that comes together in just 10 minutes. The recipe’s key technique, cutting out a circle in the bread to house the egg, makes for a fun presentation that’s perfect for kids or anyone who loves a playful touch to their breakfast. Pair it with the toasted bread cut-out for a delightful extra bite, and you’ve got a hearty, no-fuss way to start the day.

Use a round cookie cutter or the rim of a small glass to cut a hole in the center of the bread slice, about 2 inches in diameter.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter, letting it melt and evenly coat the pan.
Place the bread slice in the skillet and toast one side lightly for about 1-2 minutes.
Flip the bread slice over and crack the egg directly into the hole in the center of the bread.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the egg whites begin to set, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Carefully flip the bread with the egg and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the yolk reaches your desired doneness.
Remove the One Eyed Sailor from the skillet and serve immediately. Optionally, toast the bread cut-out circle in the pan and serve it on the side.
