Instructions
 

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Get the pan nice and hot.
  • Melt butter in the center of the skillet. Before it's completely melted, move the pat of butter to the side of the pan to make a small puddle of butter there, as well.
  • Cut the center out of the bread.
  • a piece of bread with a heart-shaped cookie cutter
  • Lay the bread in the center of the skillet and the cut out in the small puddle of butter to the side.
  • an egg in a hole in a stainless steel skillet
  • Immediately crack the egg into the well in the bread. I broke the yolks so they'd cook hard, but you don't have to do that if you like your eggs dippy.
  • an egg in a hole in a skillet
  • Wait 2-3 minutes, until the egg white are beginning to firm up, and carefully flip the whole thing. (Also flip the cut out on the side of the pan.)
  • Wait another couple of minutes and check to see if the egg whites are firm (and the yolk if that's your preference). The bread should be toasted but not burned.
  • a piece of toast with a fried egg cooked in the center
  • To serve, top the egg with the toasted cut out.
