Cut out the center of the 4 bread slices with a small cutter, leaving the edges intact.
Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat and place the breads in it.
Toast the breads for 1 minute, then crack the eggs into the holes.
Cook the eggs for 4 minutes, until the whites set and the yolks remain soft.
Sprinkle with black pepper and serve immediately, before the bread loses its crispness.
💡 Tip: Do not cut the center of the bread too large; the egg will not run into the pan and lose its shape.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with freshly ground black pepper and a little butter.
