Ingredients
Instructions

- Place the bread with the hole in the pan and crack the egg into a bowl, then pour it into the hole in the bread.

- While the egg finishes cooking, cut out a circle from the bread and place it in the pan to toast.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using sourdough or whole grain bread instead of regular white bread. If you don't have cooking spray, a small amount of butter or olive oil can work as a substitute. To enhance the dish, add herbs like chives or parsley to the egg before cooking. This simple yet satisfying dish pairs beautifully with Buttermilk Coconut Pie for a delightful breakfast treat.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Bulls Eye Breakfast with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a balanced meal. It also pairs well with crispy bacon or sausage for added protein. For a unique twist, consider drizzling some hot sauce or avocado on top of the egg for extra flavor. This dish makes a great addition to any brunch menu.
