Cooking with Kids

Grated cheese (optional)

Cut a hole in the bread using the glass. Melt margarine in a skillet on medium heat. Place bread slice in the pan. Break an egg into the hole of the bread. The bread hole' you removed can be placed on the skillet as well. Cook for a few minutes until the egg looks done when a corner of the bread is lifted at the edge. Sprinkle with salt and pepper (or even grated cheese if you wish). Flip the bread and egg over and cook on the other side. Serve along with some fruit for a delicious meal!
