Eggs on a Raft

• bread
• butter
• salt
• pepper
• eggs
• frying pan

Take a slice of bread and cut out a circle about 2 inches in diameter.

Toast slowly and lightly on both sides, using a forked stick.

In the frying pan, melt a hunk of butter, put the toast in the pan and wait until it sizzles. Now break the egg and place it into the hole so the yoke stays put. Heat slowly and evenly.

Sprinkle salt and pepper over the eggs and then cover. It will be done when the top of the egg is white. If you have no cover, turn toast over when underside of egg is cooked.

Hints for Frying Eggs

Whether you like your eggs sunny side up, turned over, fried hard or soft, here are a few basic rules that will make them a success anytime.

• Don't have the frying pan too hot.
• Go easy on the grease.
• Don't overcook them.
• If you turn your eggs over to cook on both sides, salt the yolks before flipping over to prevent them from breaking.
• Always have the pan hot before dropping in the egg or it will run out too thin in the pan before it starts to cook.
