- Cut a 2-inch round from the center of the bread, reserving the round for toast.
- Melt a nut size bit of butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Place the slice of bread and the round in skillet and toast lightly, about 1 minute.
- Crack the egg into the hole and season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add remaining the rest of the butter as needed to brown and crisp the toast.
- Flip the egg and round, season with salt and pepper.
- Cook another 2 minutes for a runny yolk, or slightly longer for a set egg.
Use a cookie cutter for cute center shapes! I have used heard & star cookie cutters for the kids.
