Ingredients

• 2 slices of bread (your choice, thick-cut works best)
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Cheesy Egg Toast

1. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt, coating the bottom of the pan.
2. Place the slices of bread in the skillet and toast them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
3. While the bread is toasting, crack the egg into a small bowl and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
4. Once the bread is toasted, push one slice to the side of the skillet and crack the egg into the empty space. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolk remains runny.
5. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the toasted bread and cover the skillet with a lid to melt the cheese, about 1-2 minutes.
6. Once the cheese is melted and the egg is cooked to your liking, carefully place the egg on top of the cheesy toast.
7. Season with more salt and pepper if desired, then serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and for easier cleanup.
• Experiment with different types of cheese for unique flavor profiles.
• For extra flavor, add herbs like chives or parsley on top before serving.
• If you prefer your egg cooked more, cover the skillet for a longer cooking time.

Easy Variations

• Avocado Twist: Top with sliced avocado for a creamy addition.
• Bacon Lovers: Add crispy bacon bits on top of the cheese before the egg.
• Veggie Delight: Incorporate sautéed spinach, tomatoes, or bell peppers.
• Spicy Kick: Add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes for heat.

What to Serve With It

• A side of fresh fruit for a refreshing contrast.
• Crispy hash browns or home fries for a hearty side.
• A simple green salad with lemon vinaigrette for a light touch.
• Freshly squeezed orange juice or a strong coffee to kickstart your day.

Cheesy Egg Toast is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat in a skillet over low heat until warmed through. Note that the egg may not retain its runniness after reheating.
