Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 slices of bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite cheese)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread: Slice the center out of each bread slice to create a hole big enough to hold the egg. Keep the removed bread pieces for later use if desired.
  2. Place Eggs in Bread: Lay the bread slices on a baking sheet and crack one egg into the hole of each bread slice, being careful not to spill the egg outside.
  3. Bake the Eggs and Bread: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the baking sheet with the bread and eggs in the oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but yolks remain slightly runny or to your preferred doneness.
  4. Add Cheese Topping: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the eggs and bread.
  5. Broil for Melting Cheese: Switch the oven to broil mode, and place the toast back in the oven for 1-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly with a lightly golden crust. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  6. Serve Warm: Take the cheesy egg toast out of the oven and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can use whole wheat or gluten-free bread to suit dietary preferences.
  • Try adding herbs like chives, parsley, or black pepper on top for extra flavor.
  • Use different types of cheese such as pepper jack, gouda, or feta to vary the taste.
  • Adjust baking time depending on your preferred egg yolk consistency.
  • Be careful when broiling as cheese can burn quickly.
