    Do you flip the bread in the pan to brown on the other side? Is the butter for the pan or the bread? Sounds great and would like to try it! - 4/24/17

    I think I needed to heat the pan longer, I felt the bread wasn't toasty enough. Next time I think I'll add some salt and pepper. I will definitely try it again with a hotter pan because i love the idea and simplicity! - 10/25/13

    I have been cooking this for years, but we call it egg in a bread and we beat the egg before putting in center of bread. It is quick and easy. love it. - 4/26/11

    I have done a different version of this. Seperate egg white and egg yolk. Froth egg white. Make a circle on bread with it. Drop the egg yolk in the center. - 4/26/11
