Ingredients




2 slices good bread
1 tablespoon butter
non-stick spray for pan
2 eggs
salt and freshly-ground black pepper
1 teaspoon water (divided)
grape jelly
1 olive (stuffed is good)
mustard

Preparation

1 With a cookie cutter or a small glass, cut a circle out of the center of each piece of bread. Spread butter on these circles. Spray a large frying pan so the pirate faces won't stick to it, and place it over warm-to-medium heat. If there's any butter left, allow it to swirl around in the pan, too. Break each egg into a separate small dish or cup. 2 Sprinkle salt and pepper on it, and add 1/2 tsp. water. Place the bread slices in the frying pan, and slide an egg into each of the holes. Place the buttered rounds of bread in the pan, too, butter-sides down. Cover the pan, and allow to cook for about 2 or 3 minutes, then check to see whether it's done to your liking. 3 Turn the egg-and-bread if you like (it's not necessary). Spread grape jelly on the grilled toast circles. 4 Place the pirate faces on plates; if the egg has run out of the hole on one edge, you can make that the mouth, or you can, if you like, run a line of mustard along the "mouth line." Let the grape-jelly-spread circle perch on one of the top corners as an "eye patch"; and if you want to suggest the other eye as well, you can cut a filled olive in half and settle it next to the eye patch.
