Ingredients
1 large egg
1 slice of bread (your choice of bread: white, whole wheat, sourdough, etc.)
1 tablespoon butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional toppings: shredded cheese, chopped chives, bacon bits, avocado slices, etc.
Instructions
Prepare the Bread:
Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut a hole in the center of the bread slice. The hole should be about 2-3 inches in diameter. Save the cut-out piece of bread for toasting later.
Heat the Pan:
Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Butter the Bread:
Spread half of the butter on one side of the bread slice and the cut-out piece.
Toast the Bread:
Place the buttered side of the bread slice and the cut-out piece down in the heated skillet. Let it toast for about 1-2 minutes until it turns golden brown.
Add the Egg:
Flip the bread slice over to the other side. Add the remaining butter to the hole in the bread and let it melt. Carefully crack the egg into the hole in the bread. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook the Egg:
Let the egg cook until the white is set but the yolk is still runny, about 2-3 minutes. If you prefer a fully cooked yolk, cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Flip the Egg in a Basket:
Using a spatula, carefully flip the entire bread slice with the egg to cook the other side. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the egg is cooked to your desired doneness.
Toast the Cut-out Piece:
Flip the cut-out piece of bread to toast the other side if necessary.
Serve:
Remove the egg in a basket and the toasted cut-out piece from the skillet. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with shredded cheese, chopped chives, bacon bits, avocado slices, or any other toppings you like.

Ingredients
3 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
10g parsley, chopped
10g green onions, chopped
30g mozzarella cheese, shredded
10g unsalted butter
4 slices of bread
Instructions
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
In a bowl, beat the three eggs with black pepper and chili powder until well combined. Add the chopped parsley, green onions, and shredded mozzarella cheese to the egg mixture. Mix well.
Heat the Pan:
Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add the unsalted butter and let it melt, ensuring it coats the bottom of the pan evenly.
Dip the Bread:
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are well coated with the mixture.
Cook the Bread:
Place the dipped bread slices into the heated pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until the bread is golden brown and the egg mixture is set. Flip the bread slices and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until the other side is also golden brown and cooked through.
Serve:
Remove the savory egg and cheese toast from the pan and serve immediately.

4 eggs
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 avocado, sliced
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
10g parsley, chopped
Instructions
Toast the Bread:

While the eggs are cooking, slice the avocado.
