Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Bread sturdy, like sourdough or brioche: As needed
  • Eggs: 4 large
  • Butter: 2 tablespoons
  • Salt: To taste
  • Pepper: To taste
  • Heart-shaped cookie cutters: 1–2 sizes
Optional Add-Ins:
  • Fresh berries avocado slices, shredded cheese, or smoked salmon for garnish.

Method
 

 Prepare Your Tools
  1. Preheat a nonstick frying pan over medium-low heat.
  2. Lightly grease the heart-shaped cookie cutters with non-stick spray or butter.
2. Cut the Bread
  1. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut a heart shape in the center of each slice of bread. Save the cutouts for toasting as a side.
3. Toast the Bread
  1. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the frying pan.
  2. Place the bread slices in the pan and toast one side until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes. Flip the bread.
4. Cook the Eggs
  1. Crack an egg into the heart-shaped cutout in the bread. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Cover the pan and cook over medium-low heat for 4–5 minutes, or until the egg white is set. If desired, gently flip the bread to cook the top side.
5. Toast the Heart Cutouts
  1. Toast the heart-shaped bread cutouts in the same pan until golden brown on both sides.
6. Assemble and Serve
  1. Arrange the heart-shaped egg-in-toast and cutouts on a plate. Garnish with fresh berries, herbs, or other toppings.
  2. Serve warm with coffee, tea, or fresh juice.

Notes

  • Customize the Toppings: Add shredded cheese, bacon bits, or diced vegetables for extra flavor.
  • Use Different Bread: Sourdough, brioche, or whole wheat bread work well for this recipe.
  • Make It Sweet: Drizzle with honey or sprinkle powdered sugar for a sweet twist.
