Grab those heart shaped cookie cutters or heart shaped egg rings for this breakfast. If using a cookie cutter, press the middle out of a piece of bread. Grill one side in a skillet and then flip. Crack the egg in the open middle and cook sunny side up. If you have an egg ring, press into a piece of bread and remove the middle. Toast bread in toaster. Cook the egg in a skillet sunny side up in the egg ring. When both are finished, gentle place egg onto the piece of toast with a spatula.
