2 eggs
2 rye bread
1 tbsp butter
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

How to cook it

Melt a little of the butter in a skillet over medium heat and fry the eggs sunny-side up for 3 to 4 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
Meanwhile, toast the rye bread and spread it with the remaining butter.
Slide an egg onto each slice, season with the salt and pepper, and eat straight away; the five-minute weekday answer when Ruehrei feels like too much stirring.
