Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 slices bread
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp butter
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Create Indentation: Use the back of a spoon to gently press an indentation in the center of each bread slice to hold the egg in place during cooking.
- Butter Bread: Spread butter evenly on both sides of each bread slice to ensure a golden, crispy texture when toasted.
- Heat Skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and let it warm up before adding the bread.
- Cook Egg on Toast: Place the buttered bread slices in the skillet. Crack one egg into the indentation on each slice, making sure the yolk stays centered.
- Season: Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the eggs according to your taste preference.
- Cover and Cook: Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 3 to 4 minutes to allow the egg whites to set.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese evenly over each toast slice on top of the cooked eggs.
- Finish Cooking: Cover again and cook until the cheese melts completely and the eggs reach your desired doneness, usually another 2 to 3 minutes.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the toasts for a fresh touch and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Try using pepper jack or Swiss cheese to vary the flavor profile.
- Serve the cheesy egg toast with fresh fruit or a side salad for a more balanced breakfast.
