Description
Experience breakfast bliss with Cheesy Egg Toast! Crispy, buttery toast meets fluffy egg and gooey cheddar. This 15-minute wonder is effortlessly delicious.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices sandwich bread
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Step 2: Melt the unsalted butter in a large non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat. Once melted, place the two slices of sandwich bread flat in the pan.
- Step 3: Carefully pour half of the whisked egg mixture over the top of each slice of bread, ensuring the egg soaks into the bread slightly and covers the surface. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom of the bread is golden brown and the egg starts to set.
- Step 4: Using a spatula, carefully flip each piece of bread. Immediately sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the egg layer on each slice.
- Step 5: Cover the pan with a lid and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the egg is fully cooked through.
- Step 6: Remove the cheesy egg toast from the pan and serve hot immediately.
Notes
- For the best experience, enjoy your Cheesy Egg Toast right away, as the texture and flavor are truly at their peak when fresh; however, any leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for a quick snack the next morning.
- To revive refrigerated toast, a quick warm-up in a toaster oven or even back in a non-stick pan over low heat will help restore some crispness without making the egg rubbery, a microwave is not recommended for retaining texture.
- Elevate your breakfast by serving this delightful toast with a side of fresh fruit or a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce for an extra kick; it also pairs wonderfully with crispy beef bacon or a creamy slice of avocado.
- For that ideal custardy interior and golden-brown exterior, ensure the egg mixture has a moment to slightly soak into the bread before flipping, and always maintain a steady medium heat to cook through without burning.
