Things You'll Need
Slice of bread
Cookie cutter or round glass, 2-inch to 3-inch diameter
Butter
Egg
1. Cut a hole into the bread
Use a cookie cutter to cut a hole in the middle of a slice of bread. Pick a fun shape, like a flower or a heart, or use a simple round glass for a circle if you don't have a cookie cutter. Whatever shape you choose, you'll want it to be at least 2 to 3 inches in diameter to allow space for the egg to cook.

2. Butter the bread
Butter both sides of the bread as well as both sides of the cutout shape.
