hearty breakfast

This is a fun idea for a Valentine's Day breakfast - a hearty egg ‘in’ toast!

It takes no longer to do than a regular egg on toast and is a delicious way to win hearts.

1. You will need a heart shaped cookie cutter a little smaller than the size of the bread.  These can be found in kitchenware shops but if you can’t find one of these, print and cut out the heart shaped template by clicking here and use a sharp knife instead.

2. Press the cookie cutter into soft bread, one slice at a time and remove the ‘heart’ ( you can fry this too).  Then melt a little butter in a fry pan – you can add splash of olive oil to stop it from burning. 

Place the bread slice into the pan and fry it gently on one side until it’s golden brown.  Turn it over then crack your egg into the middle. A lid on the pan will help to cook the egg a little faster.
