Equipment
- Large Skillet
- Wooden Spoon
- Spatula
Ingredients
Beef Mixture
- 1/2 lb ground beef lean or regular
- 1 tbsp olive oil for cooking
- 1/4 cup onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 tsp salt adjust to taste
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Toast & Eggs
- 2 slices sturdy bread sourdough or country loaf
- 2 tbsp butter for toasting
- 2 large eggs
Optional Toppings
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese cheddar or mozzarella
- fresh herbs for garnish (parsley or chives)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil, then ground beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon.
- Add diced onion, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and crispy at the edges.
- Push the beef to one side of the pan. Add butter to the empty side and let it melt until foaming.
- Place bread slices in the melted butter, pressing down slightly. Toast until golden brown on one side, then flip and repeat.
- Make small wells in the beef mixture and crack the eggs directly into them. Cover the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but yolks remain runny.
- If using cheese, sprinkle it over the beef and eggs, allowing it to melt.
- Place crispy toast slices on plates. Spoon the beef mixture and eggs over the toast. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.
Notes
For extra flavor, rub a clove of garlic on the toast after cooking. Serve with hot sauce or roasted tomatoes for an added punch.
