Step 1
Cut a 2-inch round hole in the center of each bread slice using a cookie cutter or a small glass. Reserve the cut-out circles for dipping.
Step 2
Melt 1 tbsp butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place both bread slices in the skillet, letting them toast for about 1 minute until lightly golden on the bottom.
Step 3
Flip the bread slices. Crack one egg into each hole, being careful not to break the yolk. Season with half the salt and pepper.
Step 4
Cook for 2-3 minutes until the egg whites are set and the bread is golden brown. For a runny yolk, remove immediately; for a firmer yolk, cook 1-2 minutes more.
Step 5
Flip the toad-in-the-hole if you prefer your egg cooked on both sides, cooking for an additional 1 minute. Serve hot with the reserved bread circles for dipping.
