Cheesy Baked Egg Toast is an easy and delicious breakfast recipe that is perfect for anyone looking to try something new.
This recipe is a unique take on the classic baked egg-in-a-hole dish, combining the flavors of toasty bread, melted cheese, and a perfectly fried egg. It's simple to make and requires only a few basic ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen.
Ingredients:
- Eggs
- Sandwich bread
- Butter
- Salt and pepper
- Shredded cheese
- Cooking spray
- Teaspoon with a pointy tip or a regular, rounded teaspoon with a butter knife
Instructions:
-
Using a pointy-tipped teaspoon (or a butter knife), create the corners of the edges for the rectangle on your bread, pressing almost to the crust edges. Press down to create the rectangle.
-
Using the teaspoon, gently press the bread down to form the inside of the rectangle without tearing. Repeat for every slice of bread you wish to make (1-2 slices per person).
-
Season the bread with salt and pepper.
-
Crack one egg into each slice of bread prepared; season the egg on top.
-
Butter the edges of the bread gently, being careful not to touch the egg.
-
Sprinkle shredded cheese onto the butter.
-
Spray your small baking tray or tin foil with cooking spray before placing into the toaster oven. (If you don’t have a toaster oven, you can place it into a covered saute pan and cook on medium until cooked).
-
Toast in your toaster oven (or covered saute pan), observing as it cooks, until the egg appears fried, about 10 or so minutes.
-
Eat with fork and knife or as you would a piece of regular toast.
Tips:
- Be gentle when pressing down on the bread with the teaspoon to avoid tearing.
- Use cooking spray to prevent the bread from sticking to the baking tray or tin foil.
- Make sure to watch the eggs closely as they cook to avoid overcooking them.
