Wake up to Cheesy Egg Toast! Fluffy eggs soak into bread, pan-fried to golden perfection, then topped with melted cheddar. Quick, delicious, and ready in 15 minutes.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 slices of bread (white or whole wheat)
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon milk (optional, for creaminess)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, quickly dip one side of each bread slice into the egg mixture, then immediately place the egg-dipped side down into the hot skillet.
  3. Step 3: Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. While the first side cooks, pour the remaining egg mixture onto the uncooked side of the bread slices in the pan, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
  4. Step 4: Carefully flip the bread slices. Immediately sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the cooked egg side. Cover the skillet with a lid for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the egg is fully set.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the cheesy egg toast to plates. Garnish with fresh chives (if using) and serve immediately for a delicious breakfast.

Notes

  • While Cheesy Egg Toast is best enjoyed hot and fresh, you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day, though the bread may soften.
  • To bring back some of that delightful crispness, reheat your toast in a toaster oven or air fryer at 300°F (150°C) for 3-5 minutes, or simply microwave for a quicker, softer option.
  • Elevate your breakfast by serving this cheesy toast with a side of fresh fruit, sliced avocado, or a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce for an extra kick.
  • For the ideal texture, ensure you quickly dip just one side of the bread in the egg mixture initially; this prevents the bread from becoming overly soggy and allows for a beautifully golden-brown crust.
