Ingredients

2 slices of toast bread
2 tablespoons of butter
2 eggs

Ingredients for TIP

Chives
Sliced cheese
Chili sauce

Instructions

1
Cut a large round hole in the slices of toast bread with a knife, large enough to fit a whole egg without spilling over.
2
Take a larger pan and melt the butter in it over low heat. Then increase the heat to medium and place the slices of toast bread and the cut-out circles in the pan. Toast the circles for 2⁠–⁠3 minutes on each side. Toast the slices with the hole for 30⁠–⁠60 seconds, then flip them, reduce the heat to low, and press them onto the pan to prevent the egg from leaking out from the bottom later.
3
Crack an egg into the hole in each slice of bread. If it starts to leak, quickly press the bread back onto the pan ⁠–⁠ this will cause the egg white to stick to the bread and prevent further leaking. Cover the pan with a lid and cook the eggs in the toast for 3⁠–⁠5 minutes on low heat until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
4
Transfer the finished toasts to a plate, season with salt and pepper, and serve.

Tip

Serve the toasts with finely chopped fresh chives and chili sauce. You can also enhance them with cheese to taste – after cracking the eggs, sprinkle the toasts with finely grated cheese, cover the pan with a lid, and cook according to the recipe instructions.
