How To Make egg in the well

  • 1
    Heat skillet on Med. flame. Make a small hole in the middle of the bread slice, folding back but not removing the piece of bread. Place 1 tbs.spoon of butter in heated skillet. Lay the bread slice in the skillet flap side up. When the bread begins to fry crack the egg and lightly drop into center of the bread. Let it cook until the egg white is almost done.(When you drop the egg inside the bread the egg white will spill over into the skillet).* This is normal.
