Œuf dans un trou

Ingrédients

• 1 slice bread
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 egg
• small pinch of salt

Préparation

1. 1

   Cut a hole in a slice of bread. Use a biscuit or cookie cutter, the rim of a glass, or a knife to cut the hole.

2. 2

   Heat the butter over medium heat in a heavy pan. When the butter melts, add both pieces of bread.

3. 3

   Crack the egg into the hole in the bread. Try not to break the yolk when cracking. Add a small pinch of salt to the top of the egg.

4. 4

   Watch the egg as it cooks. When the whites are mostly cooked through, flip the bread, taking care not to break the yolk.

5. 5

   Cook to desired doneness. For a runny, over-easy yolk, cook about 30 more seconds, about a minute for over-medium, and about 1 1/2 minutes for well-done eggs. (Times are approximate, and will depend on how hot your pan is.)
