Ingredients
- 1 piece Bread slice
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter, letting it melt and evenly coat the pan.
Step 3
Place the bread slice in the skillet and toast one side lightly for about 1-2 minutes.
Step 4
Flip the bread slice over and crack the egg directly into the hole in the center of the bread.
Step 5
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the egg whites begin to set, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 6
Carefully flip the bread with the egg and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the yolk reaches your desired doneness.
Step 7
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.
