Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the slices of sourdough bread in the skillet and toast one side until golden brown.

  2. 2

    Add the Eggs

    Flip the bread slices over and carefully crack an egg into the center of each slice. Season with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Toast the Other Side

    Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain runny. If you prefer a firmer yolk, cook for an additional minute.

  4. 4

    Cook the Breakfast Meat

    While the eggs are cooking, prepare your choice of breakfast meat in a separate skillet until crispy. This could be bacon, sausage, or ham.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, carefully transfer the toasted yolk slices to a plate. Serve with the cooked breakfast meats on the side.
