Ingredients

• 2 pieces Bread slices
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 pinch per egg Salt
• 1 pinch per egg Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Chopped parsley (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Using a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, cut a circle out of the center of each bread slice to create a hole.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan evenly.

Step 3

Place the bread slices onto the skillet and let them toast lightly for 1 minute on each side.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low. Place one buttered side of bread onto the pan, then crack an egg into the hole in the middle of the bread. Repeat for the second slice of bread.

Step 5

Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over each egg.

Step 6

Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the egg white is set but the yolk is still runny. For a fully cooked yolk, cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Carefully remove the Peek a Boo Eggs from the skillet with a spatula and transfer to a plate.

Step 8

Optionally, garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious breakfast!
