Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 egg
  • salt to taste
  • cracked pepper to taste
  • 1 piece sourdough bread
  • strawberry jam optional

Instructions
 

  • *Quick note: feel free to scale this recipe for as many people as you'd like to make it for! 1 egg and 1 piece of bread per person works well.*
  • Heat a skillet to medium high heat and add your olive oil.
  • Once the oil is hot enough to sizzle when you put a drop of water in it, carefully crack you egg into the pan, trying to keep it from spreading too much.
  • Let the egg cook for a minute. When the egg white starts to solidify and turn white, tilt the pan and carefully spoon some of the oil over the top of the whole egg. Do this several times to get the egg white and the egg yolk.
  • Once your egg is cooked enough to your liking, turn the heat off and sprinkle some salt and pepper on top.
  • Toast a piece of bread. (You can optionally butter your toast once it's done)
  • Cut a heart shape out of the center of the toast, either with a cookie cutter or a knife, and reserve the heart shape you took out.
  • Transfer your egg to a cutting board and cut a heart shape out of it, doing your best to center the egg yolk.
  • Place your toast on a plate, and slide the egg into the heart shaped hole.
  • Spread some strawberry jam (or another fruit jam) onto the reserved heart shaped piece of toast, and serve that on the side. Enjoy!
