How to Make Eggs in Toast
The easiest way to make Heart-Shaped Eggs in Toast that’s delicious, ready in five minutes, and absolutely perfect for Valentine’s Day!
INGREDIENTS –
For each serving, you will need:
- 2 slices of bread
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 eggs
- salt & pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS –
Preheat a small skillet or frying pan to medium heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Butter both sides of the bread, then cut out the center with kitchen shears or a cookie cutter.
Crack 1 egg in a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, to taste. Stir to scramble the yolk, then set aside.
Place the bread on the heated pan for 30 seconds – 1 min, until golden.
Place the heart-shaped bread center on the side and toast it at the same time.
Flip the bread, then pour the egg into the middle of the bread slice without overfilling. (You may not use the whole egg.)
Cover with a lid and cook for 30 seconds to 1 min, or until the bread is browned on the underside and the egg is cooked to your liking. I like my eggs just a little runny, so I’ll move the egg around with a fork to bring the uncooked top to the bottom so that it sets more evenly.
Repeat with the other bread slices + eggs.
You can serve it as-is, or you can sprinkle the toast with chopped parsley, avocado, cheese, and more salt and black pepper.
Isn’t this such a great Valentine’s Day Breakfast? I just love that cute little heart!

We've done this for a long time except we use our heart shaped cookie cutter. YUM.
Very cute and easy, too!! This is something I could actually do, and it wouldn't take much time. Thanks for sharing!
My dad would made this for us growing up (without the heart shape) but it was called "sh*t on a shingle.
Not as sweet that way, huh? 🙂
Steph….how did you get it to stay in the heart shape? I made this for dinner tonight and the egg splattered everywhere and you can't tell at all that it's a heart. What am I doing wrong?
So Cute! Myabe I will be cooking a Valentine breakfast now!
What a great idea! I definitely want to do this! I love cookie cutters!
Love it! Husband will feel very cherished this 14th!
SO simple and cute! Totally doing this on Valentine's DAy!!!!!
Love this idea! We use a heart-shaped cookie cutter and it works great when the bread is a little frozen. 🙂
Thanks for sharing!
Fun idea! Might have to make these this week! 🙂
We toast and butter both sides of our bread before we cut the center out. Then just put the center in the pan with the "eggy toast" as my son calls them. The centers are fantastic this way. Have never thought to make them into french toast, might have to try that!
Adorable! A must make little surprise {for my hubby}~ thanks for sharing!
