Sunshine Toast - step-by-step recipe

The toast needs to be eaten as soon as it's cooked.

You can use any cutter that makes a hole that is big enough to put an egg in.

Step 1

Lightly grease a baking tray.

Step 2

Using a knife, spread butter or margarine on one side of the slice of bread if required.

Press your cookie cutter into the middle of the bread to cut out a shape.

Step 3

Lift out the shape you have cut out. Put both pieces of bread onto the baking tray, with the buttered side upwards.

Step 4

Break the egg onto a saucer. Then, carefully slide the egg into the hole in the bread. Put the baking tray in the oven.

Step 5

Bake the bread and egg in the oven for seven minutes, or for a little longer if you don't like a runny egg yolk.

Step 6

Wearing oven gloves, carefully lift the baking sheet out of the oven. Then, lift the pieces of toast onto a plate (use a fish slice).
