serves 2
Ingredients
4 slices whole-wheat sandwich bread
4 teaspoons olive oil
4 large eggs
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Hot-pepper sauce, such as Tabasco, or shredded cheese, for serving (optional)
Preparation
Step 1
Cut a hole in each bread slice using a cookie cutter or the rim of a small glass. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium. Add 2 bread slices (and the cut-out rounds, if desired; cook until toasted on each side). Crack an egg into each bread hole. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Cook until the eggs begin to set, 2 to 3 minutes; gently flip the egg and bread with a spatula. Continue cooking until eggs are set, 2 to 3 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining oil, bread, and eggs. Sprinkle with hot-pepper sauce or shredded cheese, if desired.
