Eggy Bread with Sunny Side-up Egg

This simple breakfast delivers big on the comfort front.  I like to serve eggy bread simply  with sunny side-up eggs, potato wedges,  and a little natural yoghurt,  but you can also try it with grilled tomatoes, avocado, or fruit to squeeze in some extra goodness.

Fried eggs are delicious and simple.  There are different ways in which to fry them, but sunny side-up egg is my favorite method.  You want this to be a gentle method of cooking.  If the oil gets too hot too fast, you’ll end up with crispy, bubbly eggs, when you want them to be soft and silky.

Ingredients:

For the Eggy Bread

·         2 large free-range eggs

·         2 tablespoons of milk

·         Sea salt

·         Freshly ground black pepper

·         2 slices of fresh bread (roughly 1.5 cm thick)

·         Olive oil

For Sunny Side-up Egg

·         1 tablespoon olive oil

·         2 large free-range eggs

·         Sea salt and

·         Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions:

For Eggy Bread

1.       Crack the eggs into the mixing bowl.

2.       Add the milk and season with a tiny pinch of salt and pepper.

3.       Gently whisk the eggs and milk together, then put to one side.

4.       Place the frying pan on a medium heat to heat up.  Meanwhile….

5.       Dip and push 1 slice of bread into the eggy mixture, turning it over a few times to make sure it’s well coated and sucks up the mixture like a sponge.

6.       Add ½ tablespoon of olive oil to the frying pan and carefully swirl the pan around to evenly coat the inside.

7.       Lift the soaked bread up in the bowl and allow the excess mixture to drip off, then carefully lower it into the pan, making sure it’s facing away from you so you don’t get splashed with hot oil.

8.       Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through, using a fish slice to flip it over.

9.       Carefully lift the bread out of the frying pan and put onto a serving plate using a fish slice.

10.   Repeat steps 6 to 9 with the remaining ingredients.

For Sunny Side-up Egg

1.       Get your frying pan on a medium to low heat and add enough olive oil to lightly coat the bottom of a large nonstick pan (about 1 tablespoon).

2.       Crack the egg into the pan.  As the oil gets hotter you’ll see it starts to change the color of the eggs.  Cook until the tops of the whites are set but the yolk is still runny.

3.       When they’re ready, remove the pan from the heat and take the eggs out using a spatula.  Place on a plate and dab them with some paper towels to soak up any excess oil.  Serve on eggy bread or toast – no need to butter it – with a sprinkling of the sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
