Ingredients
1slicebread
1teaspoonbutter
1largeegg
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
In a small skillet, melt butter. In the middle of your bread, cut a 3-inch hole and place in the skillet.
Crack egg and pour in the hole. Cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes or until the bread is lightly browned. Turn and cook the other side until egg yolk is almost set. Season as desired with salt and pepper. Enjoy warm.
Notes
Make a large batch by using an electric griddle. Store leftovers in a container in the fridge for 1-2 days. The best way to reheat them is in a toaster oven, broil in the oven, or heat in a frying pan.

I always double or triple this and wrap the extras with plastic wrap and store them in the freezer. They reheat well for an easy quick breakfast. (Perfect for my teens who leave for school at 6:00am)
