 Ingredients:

  • 1 slice whole wheat bread
  • 1 teaspoon margarine
  • 1 egg

Directions: Remember to Wash Your Hands!

1. Make a hole in the center of the bread with a glass or cookie cutter. Save the 'hole' for a snack. Spread margarine on both sides of bread.
2. Spray a small skillet with pan release spray and heat on medium. Place the bread in the skillet. Break the egg into a small dish and then pour into the hole in the bread. After the egg begins to bubble and cook, flip the bread over.
3. Cook until the egg is completely done. (The yolk will thicken.)
Optional: salt and pepper or shredded cheese and ham.


Helpful Hints:

Cook eggs until they are done - slowly, over medium heat. For poached, sunny-side-up and fried- over-easy, like the eggs in this recipe, the white should be completely set and the yolk will be firm. If you watch to make sure the eggs are done, you'll know that the eggs are safe to eat.

Safety Tip:

Don't use eggs that are cracked or broken - they may contain bacteria that could make you sick. Remember to put eggs in the refrigerator just as soon as you come home from the grocery store and use them within about three weeks. It's best to keep eggs in their original carton rather than in the compartment in the door. Every time you open the door, the temperature drops and the eggs don't keep as well.
