A quick and easy snack featuring crispy bread with eggs cooked in the center, topped with savory everything bagel seasoning. Perfect for a late-night nibble, brunch, or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 slice white sandwich bread (or sourdough/whole wheat)
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (softened)
  • Everything bagel seasoning (to taste)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • Optional toppings: chopped chives or parsley, hot sauce

Instructions

  1. Use a round cookie cutter or small glass (about 2 inches diameter) to cut circles in the center of each bread slice. Keep the cut-out circles for toasting.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Let it melt and foam without browning.
  3. Place the bread slices and cut-out rounds in the melted butter. Toast until the bottom is golden and crisp, about 2 minutes.
  4. Crack one large egg gently into each bread hole. Season lightly with salt and black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low to cook slowly without burning.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes for runny yolks until whites are set. For firmer yolks, cover the pan with a lid and cook an additional 1-2 minutes.
  6. Just before flipping or when eggs are almost done, sprinkle everything bagel seasoning generously over the eggs and bread edges.
  7. Optionally, flip the toast bites carefully using a spatula to briefly crisp the egg side for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped chives or parsley if desired. Enjoy warm.

Notes

Use olive oil or coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free version. Substitute gluten-free bread for a gluten-free option. Crack eggs into a small bowl first to avoid shells. Sprinkle seasoning late in cooking to keep seeds crunchy. Cook on medium to medium-low heat to avoid burnt bread and undercooked yolks. Flipping is optional and adds extra texture but can break yolks.
