Equipment

Ingredients
- 4 slices whole wheat bread
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- Using a drinking glass, cut a hole out of the center of the bread slices.
- Place the butter in a large skillet and heat over medium until the butter begins to foam.
- Place bread slices into skillet, however many will fit.
- Break open an egg into each hole in the slices.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the egg whites have fully set.

Notes
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat in the skillet for best texture.
- Freezing: You can freeze the cooked bread and eggs, although it’s best fresh. Thaw and reheat in a skillet.
- Pairing: Try serving with a fresh salad or sautéed greens for a healthy side.
- Herb Infusion: Add fresh herbs like chives or parsley into the eggs for a burst of flavor.
- Cheese Top: Sprinkle some cheese on top of the eggs while they cook for a cheesy twist.
- Egg Variations: Experiment with different styles of eggs, like scrambled or poached, instead of the classic fried.
