A great way to get your kids to eat a healthy and filling breakfast while having fun! Use a thick piece of fresh bread instead of store-bought slices, and pair with a side of honey ham or crisp bacon.

Ingredients

4 slices fresh bread, thickly sliced
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
4 jumbo eggs

Directions

Prepare the oven broiler on medium-low.
In a small bowl, mix together the butter, salt and pepper.
Using a round cookie cutter, punch out a hole from the center of each slice of bread and then brush slice and cutout with the butter mixture.
Place the slices and the cutouts in a large oven-safe frying pan and toast oven medium-low heat until golden brown. Put cutouts aside.
Flip each slice of bread and then crack an egg into the hole. Cover the frying pan and cook for 2 minutes.
Put the frying pan under the broiler for about a minute to ensure egg white is cooked. Serve immediately.
