Picture Frame Egg

Pretty as a picture... this egg recipe is almost too pretty to eat. But, oh, go on... eat and enjoy it!

Ingredients for 1 serving:

1 slice whole wheat bread
10 mL butter or margarine (2 teaspoons)
1 egg

Equipment kit:

  • cookie cutter or small glass
  • cutting board
  • measuring spoons
  • frying pan
  • knife
  • spatula

Directions:

With adult supervision...

1. Lightly butter both sides of the bread. Make a hole in the centre of the bread with a cookie cutter or a small glass.
2. Heat a small frying pan over medium heat (hot enough to sizzle a drop of water).
3. Place bread and centre circle, side by side, in the frying pan. Melt the rest of butter inside bread hole (so that the egg won’t stick).
4. Break egg into the "hole" of the bread. Cook slowly until egg is cooked and bread is golden. Turn over both the egg in bread and centre circle, with spatula, cooking until done as desired.
