Step 1.
Using a 2 ½-inch biscuit cutter or small glass, cut a hole out of the center of: 2 slices sandwich bread
-
Step 2.
Melt in a large skillet over medium heat: 2 tablespoons butter, plus more as needed
-
Step 3.
Add the bread and cook for about 30 seconds. Crack into the holes: 2 large eggs

Step 4.
Don’t worry if some of the white remains on top of the bread or runs out from underneath. When the eggs begin to set, 2 to 3 minutes, flip the bread and eggs, using a spatula. Add more butter as needed. Fry the other side until the eggs are done to your liking. Toast the cut-out rounds of bread in butter and serve them as well, perched slightly off-kilter over the egg yolk.
