food (food) | egg in a window

I discovered egg in a window (aka egg in a basket, aka peek a boo egg, aka egg in a frame, aka egg in a nest) at a later age.  In fact what introduced me to the simple dish is the movie V for Vendetta, during that scene where Evey wakes up at her friend's home and for breakfast he made....eggs in a window.  I remember watching that scene and immediately thinking how I could create it on my own at home.  That was 6 years ago and to this day, this is one of my favorite breakfast dishes.

What you'll need:

• 1 slice of bread 
• 1 tsp of butter
• 1 egg

Directions:

1. Cut a hole in the center of your bread (just about 2.5 inches all around - you can use a cooking cutter in the center too)
2. Heat a pan on medium-low heat. (This temperature is important.  Keep it on a lower heat to avoid burning your bread.)
3. Add butter into pan and let each side of the bread absorb some of the butter while it's melting.
4. Once each side has been evenly coated with butter, crack the egg and gently place in the center of your bread.
5. Let it cook on one side until you notice the egg setting. Gently flip your bread/egg and cook the other side until your bread has reached a nice toast texture and your egg is fully cooked.
