Ingredients

1 slice bread
1 tablespoon butter softened
1 large egg
Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
Sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or chives

Instructions

Butter both sides of the bread. Using a biscuit cutter, cut a hole in the center of the bread slice, but don't discard the center.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the bread to the pan and crack the egg right into the hole. Add the hole that you cut out to the skillet. Cook the slice with egg in it just until it's set enough to flip. Carefully flip and cook the egg until your desired doneness. Flip the bread circle and cook until golden brown.
Remove both from the pan. Sprinkle with kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper, and a little sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley or chives.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or in the microwave at reduced power, but keep in mind that eggs are never as good reheated.
