Cheesy Egg Toast Perfect For Breakfast – Recipe
RECIPE:
Yields 1 toast
1 slice of bread
– 1/2 Tbsp. butter
– 1 egg
– 3 Tbsp. shredded cheese
– Salt & pepper
With a spoon, press down on the center of the bread to form a pocket. Line the edges of the bread with butter, and crack an egg into the pocket. Line the edges of the bread with shredded cheese, sprinkle on salt and pepper, and bake at 400°F/204°C for 10-15 min (10 min will have a runny yolk whereas 15 min will have a firmer yolk).
Eggs and toast are such a perfect breakfast staple. They’re our default, our ‘go-to’ breakfast, especially if you’re like me and love a good runny egg with a little buttered toast to mop it up with. Mmm! But I wasn’t always a runny egg fan. In fact, I preferred scrambled as a child, especially with cheese. Cheesy scrambled eggs were my thing, man. Until that one fateful day, a line cook made me an “over easy” egg sandwich for breakfast. From that day forward, “over easy” eggs were my jam.
I try to add a little cheese to my kids’ egg breakfasts whenever I can, because it tastes good and I recall my fondness for cheesy eggs as a child. One morning recently, it hit me, since now all my kids love “over easy” eggs, too, why not try making this cheesy baked egg toast? Why not make a portable yet flavorful breakfast for them like this? Isn’t it so pretty? It tastes just as good as it looks. Full recipe ingredients can be found on the Great Day Farms website, but I illustrated with pictures how I made it below:
On a plate, press your spoon into the bread, making a rectangle, as demonstrated below. I prefer using a pointy-tipped iced tea spoon, because it makes great corners, but if you don’t have one, a butter knife will do.
Place your cheesy egg bread onto your baking plate or into your covered medium skillet (whichever you choose), and cook for about ten minutes, watching carefully to ensure it doesn’t burn and that the egg is cooked. You can choose to add a little more cheese again at the end before serving, if you’d like.
There’s nothing quite like the combination of sweet and spicy. One of my favorite drinks to sip on during the cooler months is Mexican hot chocolate. Unfortunately, since the weather doesn’t call for hot beverages quite yet, I wanted to think up a tasty alternative. My good friend and resident LaurenConrad.com baker Lauren Lowstan recently whipped up a batch of Mexican hot chocolate cookies that give the traditional drink a run for its money. If you enjoy a little bit of spice and a lot of melted chocolate, then these cookies are definitely for you.
