Directions
Step 1

Set the broiler to low. With a 2 1/2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut a heart from the center of each bread slice.

Step 2

Brush the melted butter on both sides of the bread slices and cutouts, including the inside of the hole.

Step 3

In a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, toast the bottoms of the slices and cutouts of bread until golden. Flip the bread. Crack an egg into each hole.

Step 4

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 toast hearts on the side for dipping.
