Ingredients
- 1 slice bread
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 egg
- small pinch of salt
Instructions
- Cut a hole in a slice of bread. Use a biscuit or cookie cutter, the rim of a glass, or a knife to cut the hole.
- Heat the butter over medium heat in a heavy pan. When the butter melts, add both pieces of bread.
- Crack the egg into the hole in the bread. Try not to break the yolk when cracking. Add a small pinch of salt to the top of the egg.
- Watch the egg as it cooks. When the whites are mostly cooked through, flip the bread, taking care not to break the yolk.
- Cook to desired doneness. For a runny, over-easy yolk, cook about 30 more seconds, about a minute for over-medium, and about 1 ½ minutes for well-done eggs. (Times are approximate, and will depend on how hot your pan is.)
