Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 slices sourdough bread
  • 3 tbsps butter
  • sea salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Slice bread into 1 inch slices, and tear out part of the middle
  • Melt butter in a non stick skillet or griddle over medium heat
  • Place bread in skillet, and cook for 1-2 minutes, or lightly toasted
  • Flip bread, then crack eggs into each hole
  • Cook until egg whites are set, then flip bread again, and continue cooking until bread is golden brown and egg yolks are firm or to desired doneness

Notes

You can use your favorite bread. French bread or Texas Toast or sandwich bread will also work.
Cook on medium or medium-low heat, so bread doesn't burn.
For sunny side up eggs, do not flip after adding the eggs to the bread.
