Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 slices bread
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon butter softened

Instructions

  • Spread 1 tablespoon butter on to both sides of the 2 slices bread. Cut a round piece out of each of the bread slices and remove the circle from the center.
  • Place the 12 inch cast iron skillet over medium heat and allow to heat up for 30 seconds. Place butter or cooking spray into the skillet.
  • Put the bread and circle cut out in the skillet and crack an egg into the center of the bread. Break the yolk of the egg if you like a hard egg, leave it whole if you want a runny yolk.
  • Cook the egg for 2-3 minutes, until the bread is brown and crisp. Flip and continue to cook on the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until cooked through.
  • Serve immediately.
