A friend’s father used to make this dish as a weekend treat when she was a child. Kids like the trick of the egg inside the bread. Using good quality eggs and flavorful whole-wheat bread makes it delicious. The French eat their eggs for lunch or dinner, and this dish can work as a meal at any time of day.

NotesMind Refresher: Stand straight and keep your attention on the knife as you spread the butter.
