Ingredients
- 2 slices bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives)
Instructions
- 1
Toast the 2 slices of bread in a toaster or under the broiler until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes.
- 2
Heat the 1 tablespoon olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.
- 3
Crack the 2 eggs into the skillet, spacing them apart. Cook until the whites are set and the edges are golden, about 3 minutes.
- 4
For sunny-side-up, cover the skillet for the last minute to set the yolks slightly. For over-easy, flip and cook 30 seconds more.
- 5
Season the eggs with the 0.25 teaspoon salt and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper.
- 6
Place each fried egg on a slice of toast. Sprinkle with the 1 tablespoon fresh herbs and serve immediately.
- 7
Optional: add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a squeeze of lemon for extra brightness.
