- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional)
How to Make Cheesy Egg Toast
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the slices of bread and toast them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Place the toasted bread on a baking sheet. Top each slice with shredded cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly.
- Make a small well in the center of each cheese-covered toast and crack an egg into each well. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped chives, if desired. Serve immediately.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use fresh, high-quality eggs for the best flavor and texture.
- If you prefer your yolks cooked through, leave the toast in the oven for an additional couple of minutes.
- Experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella or gouda for a twist on flavor.
- For extra crunch, add sliced avocado or crispy bacon on top.
Easy Variations
- Veggie Delight: Add sautéed spinach or tomatoes on top before baking for a fresh touch.
- Spicy Kick: Sprinkle red pepper flakes or drizzle sriracha over the top for some heat.
- Herbed Up: Mix dried herbs like oregano or thyme into the cheese for an aromatic flavor boost.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side.
- A smoothie for a quick nutritional boost.
- Crispy hash browns or breakfast potatoes for a heartier meal.
