Valentine's Egg-in-a-Hole
A slice of buttery, golden toast with a runny egg set right in the center — cut into a heart shape with a simple cookie cutter. The bread gets crisp at the edges while the egg white turns just firm enough to hold, and the yolk stays soft enough to spill when you cut in.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 1 slice bread
- 1 egg size S
Ingredients you need per step are listed below the step in Italic

NOTES
1. Bread: Use white, cornbread, brown, or whole wheat bread. This recipe is also suitable for gluten-free bread.
2. Butter: Always ensure you use enough butter, so the bread toasts nicely.
3. Delicious on the side - Bacon, avocado, fried onion, or salsa.
4. No cutter? Then you can also cut out a heart with a sharp knife!
5. Storage
Eat the bread right away; otherwise, it will become soggy and soft (and that's not good).
