Protein-packed eggs are baked right inside multigrain bread in this fun and easy breakfast recipe. Melted butter helps to brown the bread and adds a wonderful richness.
Recipe yields 4 servings
Set the broiler to low. With a 2 1/2-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut a hole from the center of each bread slice.
Brush the melted butter on both sides of the bread slices and cutouts, including the inside of the hole.
In a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, toast the slices and cutouts of bread until golden. Flip the bread. Crack an egg into each hole.
Cover and cook until eggs set, about 1 1/2 minutes. Place the skillet under the broiler just until the egg whites are fully cooked, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, with the bread round on the side for dipping.
