Ingredients

• 2 pieces Thick slices of bread
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut a circular hole in the center of each slice of bread. Set the cut-out circles aside (you can toast them later if desired).

Step 2

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan, letting it melt and coat the surface evenly.

Step 3

Place one slice of bread in the pan and let it toast lightly for about 1 minute.

Step 4

Crack one egg into the hole in the center of the bread. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the egg.

Step 5

Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the egg white starts to set. Carefully flip the bread slice using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side or until the egg reaches your desired doneness.

Step 6

Repeat the process with the second slice of bread, adding the remaining butter to the pan beforehand.

Step 7

Remove both pieces of bread with cooked eggs from the pan. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and flavor.

Step 8

Serve immediately while warm. Optionally toast and butter the cut-out bread circles as a fun side.
