Step 1
Heat a skillet over medium-high until a drop of water skitters across the surface, about 60 seconds.
Step 2
Crack the egg into the pan without stirring. Cook until whites set but the yolk still jiggles when you nudge it, 3–4 minutes.
Step 3
Butter both slices of bread while the egg cooks. Spread ketchup over one slice.
Step 4
Slide the egg onto the ketchup-side toast, yolk facing up. Top with the other slice, buttered-side down.
Step 5
Serve immediately, before the yolk sets.
