Ingredients
2 slices of bread 🍞 (any bread works, but sourdough or white bread is extra crispy!)
1 egg 🥚
1/4 cup shredded cheese 🧀 (cheddar or mozzarella)
Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
1 tbsp butter (for extra crispiness) 🧈
Optional: chives or parsley for garnish 🌿
Directions
- Prep the Bread: Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each bread slice.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly across the unbuttered side of each slice.
- Create a Well for the Egg: Using the back of a spoon, gently press down in the center of the cheese to make a little “well” for the egg.
- Crack the Egg: Carefully crack one egg into the well on each slice. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Cook the Toast: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil. Place the slices on the pan, egg-side up, and cover with a lid. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg white is set but the yolk is still runny.
- Optional Garnish: Sprinkle chives or parsley for extra flavor and color.
- Serve & Enjoy: Slide onto a plate, let it cool slightly, and enjoy your crispy, cheesy egg toast! 🍽️
