You know that feeling when you need a hot snack, but you're not after a full blown meal? Well this is a great, quick recipe for filling that hole. Hot, tasty and deliciously decadent; it is a snack that has to be tried. Basically a fried egg in the middle of fried bread, it is very simple to make and can be enjoyed as a breakfast item or as a snack any time of day.

Warning

Make sure you allow the egg sufficient time to cook into the bread before flipping it, otherwise you are likely to lose the egg out of the middle.
