Ingredients

  • 2 slices bread (any kind)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon softened butter (olive oil works too)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Rub both sides of the bread with softened butter.
  2. Then, use a small round object such as a Mason jar cover, round cookie cutter, the top of a glass, etc. to cut a round circle out of the center of each piece of bread.
  3. Heat a large skillet over low/medium heat and add about a tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. When the olive oil is fragrant, add the bread and circle cutouts to the pan. Cook bread on the pan for about 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown. Flip.
  4. Crack an egg in the middle of each circular cutout. Then, cover the pan and let cook for 3 to 5 minutes depending on how runny you like your yolk.
  5. Remove your egg in a hole from the heat and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
