Spray frying pan with cooking spray.  Put the cut slice of bread in the hot pan.  Gently add egg into the center reservoir.  (Omit yolk for a healthy choice.)  Egg should sizzle gently as it cooks.

Add salt & pepper to taste.  For eggs "over easy", cook until the egg white is half-opaque; about 30 seconds.  Lightly spray with more cooking spray & flip to cook other side for 30 seconds more.

Remove from heat and add your favorite toppings.  I love mine with a lot of cheese and fresh tomatoes.
