Egg heart on toast



  • Use a heart stencil or use a sharp knife to cut out a heart shaped bread from the bread slice. Store the hearts.

  • Toast the bread and then fry it slightly over molten butter.

  • Prepare an egg batter as for preparing omelets. Put the egg in the heart shape after you have put in some butter. Fry properly and your special heart toast is ready.
