Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 slice favorite bread for toast
2 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 eggs
1 pinch kosher salt
1 pinch fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • 2. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together. Spread half of the butter on the bread and then sprinkle the cinnamon mixture on top. Broil in oven until lightly browned.
  • 3. Place remainder of butter in a hot non-stick skillet and place toast slices (browned side up)in immediately. Crack an egg into each of the center holes. Season with salt and pepper.

  • 5. Place the toast on a plate and drizzle with pure maple syrup or honey.
