Ingredients

1 dash Olive Oil
2-2/3 ounces, weight Dough (I Used No Knead Bread Dough)
1 whole Egg
1 pinch Salt
1 pinch Pepper
2 slices Cheese (optional)

Directions

1

Make the dough into a flat piece of bread. Cut out a hole, big enough for an egg.
2

Grease a skillet with the olive oil. Carefully place the dough in the skillet. Cover with a lid. (I did turn on the heat for a few seconds to make the skillet a little warmer - this will help it rise). Let the dough rise for 15 minutes.
3

With the lid on the skillet turn on the heat on medium. Bake one side of the dough for 6 to 8 minutes. Turn the bread over, place lid back and bake for another 4 minutes.
4

Remove the toast from the skillet and use a biscuit cutter to cut a round hole in the middle. Return to the skillet. Crack an egg in the hole and season with salt and pepper. Place lid back and bake for 4 minutes more.
5

Optional: Place some cheese over the egg at the end of the cooking process.
6

Serve warm.
