Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 slices bread, preferably whole wheat
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
2 eggs

Steps:

  • First stamp a circle from the center of each slice of bread with a 2-inch cookie cutter and reserve.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a frying pan or skillet over medium heat, add the bread and reserved rounds ('hats') and fry until the undersides are lightly golden.
  • Turn the bread over, adding more oil if necessary.
  • Carefully break the eggs and ease them into the holes. (Sometimes I drain off a little of the white, but this is not a rule.)
  • Reduce the heat and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are beginning to set, but are still soft.
  • Using a spatula, transfer the slices of bread and eggs to a plate, with their hats over the yolks, and serve.
