Directions

  1. Use a cookie cutter or a glass to cut round holes in the edges. ≈ 8 min
  2. The cut slices can also be arranged in a buttered dish, and then placed on the final plate to create a kind of “basket-like” topping. ≈ 3 min
  3. If we use molds, the holes don’t necessarily have to be round; they can have the shape of, for example, a heart. ≈ 3 min
  4. Butter both sides of the bread. ≈ 4 min
  5. Place on a hot pan and cook on one side until it turns a golden color.
  6. Turn the dough over and place an egg in each portion. ≈ 3 min
  7. Season and add pepper. ≈ 2 min
  8. Flip the pancake over and cook until it is golden brown; if necessary, flip it again to cook the other side.
