Description

A simple and timeless breakfast or snack featuring a perfectly fried egg on crispy toast, seasoned with salt and pepper for a quick and satisfying meal.


Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 slice of bread
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread to your preferred level of crispiness.
  2. While the bread is toasting, heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once melted and sizzling, crack the eggs into the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Fry the eggs to your liking—sunny side up, over-easy, or well-done.
  3. Once the toast is ready, place it on a plate. Carefully transfer the fried eggs onto the toast.
  4. Sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a cheesy twist, melt a slice of cheese on top of the egg while frying.
  • Add hot sauce or red pepper flakes for a spicy version.
  • Top with sliced avocado for a creamy addition.
  • Sprinkle fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or thyme for extra flavor.
