Pan-fried bread is an easy and quick alternative to homemade bread that will win you over with its simplicity and goodness.

Everything is done in one pan for this breakfast — first the bread, then the cheese to melt on top, then fried tomato and an egg to crown it. Often, there is joy to be had in the simplest things.

To make the garlic bread, melt a little of the garlic butter in the pan and fry the bread, two slices at a time, on both sides until golden. Add a little more garlic butter with each batch.
