With a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, press
a hole in the center of the slice of bread.
Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and melt in
the butter. When the butter is all spread out,
place the slice of bread in the skillet and crack
the egg straight into the center of the hole.
Cook until the egg sets a bit on the bottom, 30 to
45 seconds. Sprinkle the egg with salt and pepper.
After about a minute, flip it over with a spatula
and salt and pepper the other side.
Move the toast around in the skillet, soaking up
all of the glorious butter. Let it cook until the
yolk feels soft. Here's the key- golden brown
toast, white (not browned/burned) whites, soft
unbroken yolk. Perfect.
