Ingredients
- 2 slices of toast bread
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 2 eggs
Ingredients for the TIP
- Chives
- Slices of cheese
- Chili sauce
Instructions
- 1Using a knife, cut the largest possible round hole into the slices of toast bread so that a whole egg can easily fit into it without overflowing.
- 2Take a large pan and melt butter in it over low heat. Then increase the heat to medium and place the slices of toast bread and the cut-out circles into the pan. Fry the circles for 2–3 minutes on each side. Fry the bread slices with the hole for 30–60 seconds, then flip them, reduce the heat to low, and press them onto the pan so that the egg doesn't leak out from underneath later.
- 3Crack an egg into the hole of each bread slice. If it starts to leak, quickly press the bread back onto the pan – this will make the egg white stick to the bread and prevent further leakage. Cover the pan with a lid and fry the eggs in toast for 3–5 minutes over low heat until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
- 4Transfer 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 enrich them with cheese to taste – after cracking the eggs, sprinkle the toasts with finely grated cheese, cover the pan with a lid, and fry according to the recipe instructions.
