Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • 1 slice of bread
  • margarine as needed
  • 1 egg
  • a pinch of salt

Recipe 🍳

  1. Using a cup or round cutter, make a round hole in the center of the bread slice large enough to fit an egg.
  2. Lightly heat a frying pan, then generously spread margarine to melt evenly.
  3. Place the bread slice with the hole onto the preheated pan.
  4. Carefully crack the egg into the hole in the center of the bread, making sure no shell falls in.
  5. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the egg yolk area to lightly season.
  6. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for about 1 minute until the top of the egg white becomes opaque and slightly set.
  7. Using a spatula, carefully flip the entire toast over, then cook the other side for about 30 seconds to keep the yolk runny and finish.
  1. Make a round hole in the center of the bread slice and place it in a pan greased with margarine.
  2. Crack an egg into the hole, season with salt, cover, and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Carefully flip the toast and cook the other side for 30 seconds to achieve a runny yolk.

Cooking tips 💡

  • To prevent the egg from overflowing, make a hole large enough to match the size of the egg and thickness of the bread.
  • If you leave the toast in the pan too long after flipping, the residual heat will cook the yolk through, so for a runny yolk, strictly adhere to the 30-second timing after flipping.
  • The round piece of bread cut out from the center can also be fried with margarine on the side and dipped into the runny yolk for a delicious treat.
