Ingredients
-
2 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
-
2 eggs
-
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
-
1 tbsp butter (for toasting)
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional, like parsley or chives)
Instructions
-
Toast the Bread: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the bread slices in the pan and toast them until golden and crispy on both sides (about 2-3 minutes per side).
-
Cook the Eggs: In the same pan, crack the eggs carefully, keeping them sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
-
Melt the Cheese: Once the eggs are almost done, sprinkle the shredded cheese on top and cover the pan with a lid to melt the cheese for about 1-2 minutes.
-
Assemble the Toast: Place each cheesy egg on top of the toasted bread slices.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh herbs for garnish (optional). Serve immediately with a side of fruit or greens.
Notes
-
For a richer flavor, use a combination of cheddar and mozzarella.
-
You can add avocado, tomato slices for extra toppings.
-
Adjust the doneness of the egg to your liking — soft-boiled, scrambled, or even poached!
- Use whole-grain or gluten-free bread for a healthier alternative.
