I sometimes like to eat fried eggs on toast, usually on Sundays. My toast is (usually) square because square bread fits best into the toaster.
Unfortunately, my frying pan is circular, so I get circular eggs with large areas of white that flop off the edge of the toast. This has always seemed to
me to be sub-optimal.
I would like a square frying pan to make eggs that fit exactly onto a standard square slice of toast (if there is such a thing).
The pan should have a mechanism of transferring bubbling oil from under the egg to drip on top, so that the egg cooks properly, and to lift the egg out of the pan when it's done.

I have one of these. It's a common tool in sushi restaurants used for making tamago which is a rectangular, block shaped omelet usually sliced thin and served as nigiri. |
|
| |
A square cookie cutter does the trick too. Place the cookie cutter in the pan, pour your raw eggs into the center and let it sit long enough for it to solidify. Use a pot holder or tongs to remove the cookie cutter so that you dont get burned. |

We have two small rectangular
non-stick frying
pans, each almost exactly the size of a
slice of bread. They're for making the
slightly sweet rolled omelette which
goes into some types of sushi. |

bumhat breakfasts scare me |

Even if it is baked, bun for sub-optimal |
|

Square egg rings are readily available. They work with pretty much any frying pan and permit the bathing of the topside of the egg with hot oil, though they don't do it automatically. |
|
| |
If you want the eggs to really, really form fit the bread, you could always make french toast. |
|

{considers posting a bread-shaped egg ring idea, thinks again} |

Did you SEE the price of that square egg ring [half]? |
|
| |
No. I really don't have to look at prices |
|
| |
...because I know I'm so cheap that I won't buy anything anyway. :-) |
|
| |
That price tag is a little steep, but it's a restaurant supply store. There's very likely a cheaper consumer grade one out there somewhere. |
|

//Circular// so that they're easier to keep clean (doesn't get dirt caught up in the corner/edges) - Why not simply cut the edges off the egg, making it into a square? |
|

or use a rounded kind of bread like Italian |
