Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread (your choice of type: white, whole wheat, sourdough, etc.)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a cheese blend)
- 1 tablespoon butter (for toasting the bread)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Ingredients
- Fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives, for garnish)
- Sautéed spinach, tomatoes, or bacon (for extra flavor)
Instructions
- Toast the Bread: Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the bread slices and toast them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden and crispy.
- Cook the Eggs: In another skillet, cook the eggs according to your preference, whether with a runny yolk or fully cooked. Flip the eggs gently after about 2-3 minutes if desired.
- Melt the Cheese: During the last minute of cooking the eggs, sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over them. Cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt completely.
- Assemble the Toast: Place the cheesy eggs on top of the toasted bread. Season with salt and pepper to taste and garnish with fresh herbs if using.
- Serve: Serve your cheesy egg toast immediately. You can accompany it with optional sides like sautéed vegetables or crispy bacon for added flavor.

- Use your favorite type of bread to customize the dish according to your taste.
- Adjust the egg cooking time based on how runny or firm you like your yolks.
- Fresh herbs like parsley or chives add a nice visual touch and freshness.
- Optional add-ins such as sautéed spinach, tomatoes, or bacon enhance the flavor and nutritional value.
