Fried Bread and Eggs

It’s one of the simplest breakfasts I know. All you have to do is fry a big ol’ thick slice of nutty bread in lots of butter, throw a couple of over-easy eggs on top, and serve with some breakfast sausage.

The good thing about it is that you can do almost infinite variations on this, depending on what kind of bread you can find at the bakery, and what kind of butter and/or jam/jelly you have in your pantry.

The last time I made this, I used a little jar of mango-flavored butter I picked up in a specialty food store, and some cranberry-walnut bread that I got at Whole Foods Market.

Ingredients

·         NUT BREAD, 1 slice, at least one-inch thick

·         BUTTER, unsalted, 2 tablespoons

·         FLAVORED BUTTER, as much as you want

·         EGGS, 2, over-easy, sunny side up, or scrambled

Directions

1.       Melt the butter in a non-stick sauté pan.

2.       Fry one side of the bread slice until it’s toasty.

3.       Turn over and fry the other side.

4.       Transfer the toasted nut bread to a plate and spread flavored butter on top.

5.       Top with the eggs and serve with breakfast sausage.
