STEP ONE: Butter a slice of gluten-free or grain-free bread and cut out a fun shape in the middle using whatever cookie cutter you have on hand. (No cookie cutters? Simply use a glass to cut out a circle in the center.)
STEP TWO: Heat a skillet over medium heat. When hot, butter the skillet and add the GF bread slice butter-side facing up. Also add the cut-out shape butter-side facing up.
STEP THREE: Crack an egg in a small bowl and then carefully pour it into the center of the cut-out as shown. Add sea salt and freshly ground pepper, if desired.
STEP FOUR: When egg white becomes opaque, gently flip the Toad-n-the-Hole over. (Remember to flip over your cut-out shape as well.)
