Step 1
Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low. Add 1 tbsp butter and swirl until foaming, ~1 minute.
Step 2
Crack eggs into the skillet. Cook without moving until whites are set but yolks jiggle, 3–4 minutes.
Step 3
While eggs cook, toast bread until golden and crispy, 2–3 minutes per side.
Step 4
Butter the hot toast with remaining 0.5 tbsp butter, dividing between slices.
Step 5
Using a spatula, slide both eggs onto the toast. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 6
Serve immediately while the toast is still hot and yolks run.
