Simple Recipe

Prepare and cook eggs

Bring eggs to room temperature for a few minutes if possible. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add 1 tsp unsalted butter. When butter is melted and foamy, crack two large eggs into the skillet. For sunny-side-up: cover skillet with a lid and cook 2.5–4 minutes until whites are set but yolks still runny. For over-easy: cook 2–3 minutes until whites mostly set, gently flip with a spatula and cook 20–30 seconds more. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper immediately after cooking.

Toast bread

While eggs cook, toast two slices of bread in a toaster or under a broiler until golden and crisp (about 2–3 minutes). If you prefer, spread ~1 tsp butter on each slice while warm so it melts into the toast.

Prepare fruit

Rinse and dry fruit. If using berries, leave whole and gently pat dry. If using an apple or banana, slice into bite-size pieces. If using apples or bananas and you want to prevent browning, toss the slices with ~1 tsp lemon juice. Arrange about 1 cup of mixed fruit on the plate.

Place the toast on a plate, set the cooked eggs on or beside the toast, and add the prepared fresh fruit. Serve immediately while eggs and toast are warm.
