Toad in a Hole

I know most of you call it 'Egg in a Hole' or some other derision of that. But this is Toad in a Hole, which is more fun. This is easy and buttery and delicious and probably healthy - when you consider pop tarts and cocoa puffs for breakfast, this is healthier.

Serves One
double or tripe recipe for more people
 
Two peices of Bread
A cup with a small mouth (a wineglass works well) or small round cookie cutter
2 Eggs
Butter
Garlic Salt, Pepper

Heat a pan to medium. Cut circles out of the middle of each piece of bread with glass, set aside centers. Drop 1 tablespoon or so (a dollop?) of butter into the hot pan. As the butter melts, place each slice of bread into the melted butter. Drop centers in to remaining melted butter (add more butter if needed). Crack 1 egg into hole in each piece of bread. Add a few dashes of garlic salt and pepper, or whatever seasoning you like on eggs.
Cook eggs for two or three minutes per side, depending on how you like your eggs. I like mine over medium so I cook them for a minute or two, till the bread is browned and the back of the egg is cooked, then flip it and cook another minute on the other side. Flip centers when browned.
Serve hot toasts with toasted centers for dipping into egg yolks. Or just eat them with jam, they're delicious!
