Generously grease an 8.5\u2033 x 4.5\u2033 loaf pan with vegetable shortening or butter. Transfer dough to prepared pan. Let rise in draft free, warm spot for 20 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425\u00ba. When oven comes to temperature, bake for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 375\u00ba and bake for another 20 minutes until golden. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out to a wire rack.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nTo make the eggs:<\/p>\n
Use a cookie cutter or a glass to cut a hole from the center of a slice of the bread. Melt some butter in a hot skillet and add the bread and cutout. When it’s toasted, flip over – add some more butter in the hole of the bread and crack a large egg in the center, turn down heat to medium. When the eggs are white and set, about 2 to 3 minutes, I like to flip it for about 30 seconds so it’s over easy style.<\/p>\n
