Instructions
- Toast the bread in a toaster or under a grill until golden brown. Keep them warm.
- In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it foams.
- Gently crack the eggs into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks.

- Sprinkle the eggs with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Place the hot, buttered toast on a plate, and carefully slide the eggs onto the toast.
- Serve immediately for a warm, comforting, and energizing breakfast.
Tips
- For a variation, try using whole grain bread for a healthier option or sourdough for a tangy flavor twist.
- Add some sliced avocado or a spread of cream cheese for extra creaminess.
- For a spicy kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes on the eggs.
