Ingredients

• 1 slice Gluten-free bread
• 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 gluten-free bread slice. Save the removed round piece.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter. Allow it to melt and coat the frying pan evenly.

Step 3

Place the gluten-free bread slice in the skillet. Crack the egg into the hole of the bread.

Step 4

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 5

Cook on one side for approximately 4-5 minutes, or until the egg white is mostly set.

Step 6

Carefully flip the bread with the egg over to the other side using a spatula. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the egg is cooked to your liking.

Step 7

While the main piece cooks, place the circular cut-out in the pan and cook until golden brown, flipping halfway through.

Step 8

Serve the Gluten-Free Egg in a Basket hot with the toasted round piece on the side.
