Method

  • 1. Cut out a circle of bread from the middle of the slice with a pastry cutter. Keep the circle
  • 2. Carefully crack the egg into a cup taking care not to break the yolk. Fish out any bits of shell.
  • 3. Heat a blob of butter in a frying pan, on a medium heat, until it starts to fizz.
  • 4.Put the circle of bread into the butter and let it cook for a minute or so until it is brown on it's bottom.
  • 5.Using a spatula, carefully lift the bread out of the frying pan and put it on a plate.
  • 6.If all the butter has disappeared add another blob and when that is fizzing put in the slice of bread that you cut the circle from.
  • 7.Now carefully tip the egg into the hole in the bread and let it cook until it looks ready and how you like it-probably 3-4 minutes. Add a little salt if you want.
  • 8.Put the bread circle on top of the egg and carefully lift the whole thing out of frying pan with a spatula. Eat it quickly before everyone wants one!
