Description
Cheesy Egg Toast is a delicious and easy breakfast option that combines crispy bread, perfectly cooked eggs, and melted cheddar cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices of whole grain bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the skillet.
- While the butter is melting, use a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut a hole in the center of each slice of bread.
- Place the bread slices in the skillet and crack an egg into the hole of each slice.
- Sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using) over the eggs.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
- Carefully flip the bread slices and cook for another 1-2 minutes, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for an additional minute, or until the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the skillet and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the eggs before cooking.
- Swap out the cheddar cheese for your favorite cheese, such as mozzarella or pepper jack, for a different flavor profile.
