Cook this recipe
- Large eggs-4 count
- White sandwich bread-4 slices
- Unsalted butter-3 tablespoons
- Kosher salt-1/4 teaspoon
- Ground black pepper-1/8 teaspoon
Toast the bread on a medium setting until golden and crisp, about 2 to 4 minutes. Work in batches as needed.
Divide 2 tablespoons butter among the hot toast. Spread the butter to the edges, then place the slices separately on serving plates to keep them crisp.
Heat the skillet over medium-low heat for 1 minute. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and swirl until it is melted and gently foaming.
Keep the skillet handle turned away from the edge of the stove.
Crack one egg into the small bowl, then slide it into the skillet. Repeat with the remaining eggs, spacing them evenly. Sprinkle with the kosher salt and black pepper, then cover the skillet.
Wash your hands and any surfaces that contact raw eggs with hot, soapy water.
Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the whites are completely opaque and the yolks are cooked to the desired firmness. Remove the skillet from the heat as soon as the eggs reach your preferred doneness.
Cook eggs until the whites are fully set. People at higher risk of foodborne illness should also cook the yolks until firm.
Use the spatula to lift two eggs onto each plate. Serve immediately with two slices of buttered toast per serving.
