Toastnut with Egg Filling

There is a commercial on TV that shows a mother serving up toast with a heart cut out of the middle and an egg in the center.  My husband Chris actually mentioned it.  I said I had seen it and then happened to come across how to make it on a foodgawker post but I can't remember who it was so if you are out there and you read this let me know who you are so I can give you kudos. 

It was much easier than I thought it would be.  I was having one of those mornings where my daughter slept in a little so I could experiment with a new breakfast and have time to photograph it.  I took the first few bites and realized I could do something a little extra with the toast cut out so I spread some Naturally More and no-sugar-added jelly on there. YUM!  Now that I'm posting it what the heck do I call this recipe?  It reminds me of a donut so how about Toastnut with Egg Filling.  So technically the middle would be a toastnut hole?  Can you think of a better name? I am not the most creative today.


Toastnut with Egg Filling

Ingredients
1 pc Arnold Double Fiber bread (100 cal and 6 grams fiber!)
1 egg (here I go again, the queen of egg whites using a yolk...now I'm addicted)
EVOO spray
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat and spray with EVOO spray.

2. Cut the center of the bread out.  (I used the top of a glass) and place both pieces in the skillet.  Flip when it just begins to brown.

3.  Crack the egg in the toastnut hole and sprinkle salt and pepper and spray EVOO spray over the toast and egg. 

4. When the egg begins to firm flip both the toast/egg and the hole so everything gets cooked on both sides.

5. Cook the egg for a minute or so on that side and slide onto a plate.  Serve with seasoned tomatoes or fruit. Spread some jelly or topping of choice on toastnut hole.
