Egg on Toast – Simple and Delicious

May 23, 2011 by Maureen 12 Comments

I went to the farmers market in Noosa yesterday and bought a fantastic loaf of sourdough bread and can I say even MORE fantastic eggs that were laid on Saturday.  I got up this morning and decided they were a match for breakfast.

I look at it now and it needed something colorful on the plate, didn’t it?  Well, that’s not what I wanted so please forgive me.  I should have cooked some baby spinach but it’s a little late now because it’s all in my tummy and who wants a photo of only steamed spinach?  I haven’t mastered the Photoshop skill of adding a picture of spinach to a plate.  (nor would I want to)

preparing sourdough bread for egg on toast

I cut a thick slab of sourdough toast and pinched out a hole for my oh so golden yolk.   (Speaking of yolks, I watched that TV show of the woman who does the 5-ingredient cooking and she pronounces yolk with a definite L in there, do you?  Everyone I know says yoke or something similar but this woman says “yole-k”.  It means nothing, I just thought I’d mention it.)

Then I buttered both sides of the toast and grilled it on both sides as the preparation for the hero of the plate, my freshly laid egg.

I learned with this photo that I’m a two handed photographer and I should have used a tripod.  I put it in only to show the size of the egg.  I’ll retake it later and remove this line.   Anyway, thexe extra large eggs from A & T Poultry in Traveston were divine.

I cracked the egg and plopped the  yolk in the hole, grated Himalayan salt and freshly cracked pepper, turned the heat down and then put a cover on to make sure the top of the egg got cooked.  I like my eggs just set and the egg almost melts into the toast.  I cooked one piece of bacon because I’m not a big bacon eater. (don’t hate me)  We don’t get American or NZ style bacon here and frankly I miss it.  A lot.

I should have taken a photo of my fork breaking in to the toast and yolk but alas, I ate it without paying attention to my duties.  Next time!

    Can someone tell me what pushes me to look at your site at 10:00 on a Monday morning, in the office, without having had a proper breakfast? It’s torture is what it is… Self-torture. This looks so delicious you must hear my stomach make weird ‘I’m hungry – feed me ya creep!’ noises.

    The hubby usually doesn’t eat breakfast but when he doeant this is his favorite. He calls it egg in a basket, I always heard toad in a hole. I love the idea of using different bread, he hasn’t tried that. I love simple dishes and I shared this post with the hubby, he loved the picture and said he would be having breakfast today!

    I am a big fan of eggs especially sunny side or over easy. So with that said.. not only does it look great but I’m pretty sure it taste amazing!

    That’s so funny about someone pronouncing the ‘l’ in yolk. I have never heard anyone do that!

    I pronounce the l in Yolk. I am not sure if it comes from my southern US upbringing or the Philadelphia influence of may parents. It is strangled a bit but there.

      It must be a regional thing then 🙂 I was born and raised in Maine. Nobody pronounces the “l” in yolk in Australia that I’ve heard (yet) Thanks heaps for commenting!

    Maureen, sounds perfect! My husband is hooked on my sourdough bread, but he won’t eat fried eggs, only scrambled. I’ll just have to make one of these for myself!
