Ingredients
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated
- 6 slices Texas Toast-style bread
- 6 large eggs
- kosher salt to taste
- ground pepper to taste
- hot sauce optional, to taste, for serving
Directions
-
In a small bowl add the mayonnaise and the parmesan cheese and stir to combine.
-
Cut a 3-inch circle into the center of each slice of bread, using a glass or a cookie cutter.

Separate the cut circles of the bread, reserving them for another use or toast them and serve along with the breakfast.
-
Spread the mayo-parmesan mixture onto both sides of each of the slices of the bread.
-
Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
-
In batches, add the hollowed mayo-parmesan covered bread slices to the hot skillet and toast on one side until golden-brown on the bottom, about 1-2 minutes.
-
Flip the bread slices.
-
Crack 1 of the eggs into each of the holes of the hollowed bread slices and season the eggs with the salt and the pepper.
-
Reduce the heat to medium-low and partially cover the pan.
-
Cook the eggs, until set, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Transfer the toasted bread slices with the eggs to a plate.
-
Increase the heat to medium and repeat the cooking process with the remaining slices of the bread and the remaining eggs.
-
Serve warm with the hot sauce.
