Print Recipe

These Egg and Cheese Toasts are warm, savory, and incredibly easy to make. With crisp bread, melty cheese, and fluffy baked egg, they’re perfect for a quick snack, simple breakfast, or light lunch. Pair them with a fresh salad or a bowl of soup for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 slices bread

  • 1 large egg

  • ½ cup (2 ounces) grated cheese (cheddar, pepper jack, or gruyère work well)

  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh herbs (such as thyme or rosemary)

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

  • Lightly toast the bread, or broil for 1–2 minutes per side, just until lightly crisp.

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

    • If using a toaster oven, place the rack on the bottom and select BAKE.

  • Crack the egg into a small bowl and beat with a fork until the yolk and white are fully combined.

  • Stir in the grated cheese and fresh herbs. Season with salt and black pepper.

  • Spread the egg and cheese mixture evenly over the toasted bread, reaching all the way to the edges. Sprinkle with cayenne if using.

  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the mixture is puffed, bubbly, and lightly golden on top.

  • Serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

  • Bread choice: Use sourdough, whole wheat, or rustic country bread for best results.

  • Cheese swaps: Try mozzarella for mild flavor or feta for a salty kick.

  • Extra toppings: Add sliced green onions, tomatoes, or spinach before baking.

  • Crispier toast: Toast the bread a little longer before adding the topping.
