One-Eyed Jacks

This recipe comes by way of my good friend Styles, who uses the simplest of ingredients for a quick, healthy breakfast that will please everyone from cherub-faced wee ones to hungover household hippies:

You will need:

- 1 egg
- 1 slice bread, any type
- Butter
- Salt & pepper
- 1 drinking glass (the mouth should be smaller than a slice of bread)
- Cutting board or clean level surface

Directions:

- Preheat a pan or griddle to medium-high
- Lay slice of bread on cutting board
- Turn glass upside-down and carefully cut a circle in the bread using a twisting motion
- Lightly butter the pan
- Briefly lay slice of bread in pan to soak up some butter, then flip to soak other side
- Crack egg into the "eye" of the bread and cook for 2-3 mins
- Flip with a spatula to cook other side for another minute
- Season to taste and serve with a side of hash browns

Optional:

- Try melting a slice of cheese on the one-eyed jack and serve with hot salsa
- For a sweet n' salty variation, try using cinnamon raisin bread
