2 eggs
1 tbsp butter
1/2 baguette
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

How to cook it

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat and crack in the eggs.
Fry gently for 3 to 4 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks are still soft.
Season with the salt and pepper and serve with the baguette alongside for dipping; the weekend fried egg, never a Tuesday-morning habit.
