Embark on a morning adventure with this one-pan cheese egg toast, an innovative twist on the traditional omelette sandwich. It’s a quick, delicious, and fulfilling way to start your day, combining the simplicity of toast with the richness of a cheesy omelette, all cooked together in a single pan for minimal cleanup.
Ingredients:
- 2 slices of your favorite bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or any preferred cheese)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Butter or oil, for the pan
- Optional additions: sliced tomatoes, cooked bacon strips, spinach, or sliced onions
Instructions:
- Prep the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to lightly grease the surface.
- Whisk the Eggs: In a bowl, crack the eggs and beat them well with salt and pepper, ensuring they are fully mixed.
- Create the Base: Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, spreading them out to form a thin omelette layer. Let the eggs cook for a minute until they start to set but are still slightly runny on top.
- Add the Bread: Place the two slices of bread side by side on top of the eggs, gently pressing them down so that the egg starts to coat the bottom side of each slice.
- Add Cheese and Optional Ingredients: Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over one slice of bread. If you’re using any optional ingredients like tomatoes, bacon, or spinach, add them on top of the cheese.
- Flip and Fold: Carefully flip the other slice of bread (the one without the cheese and toppings) onto the cheese-covered slice, pressing them together gently. Then, using a spatula, fold the excess egg around the bread to encase the sandwich.
- Cook to Perfection: Let the sandwich cook for another minute or two until the egg is fully set and the bread is golden brown. Flip the entire sandwich once halfway through to ensure even cooking on both sides.
- Serve Warm: Once done, transfer the cheese egg toast to a plate. Slice it in half to reveal the melty cheese and perfectly cooked egg. Serve immediately for a warm, comforting breakfast.
This savory cheese egg toast delight marries the fluffy texture of an omelette with the crispness of toasted bread, enveloped in melted cheese for a heavenly breakfast experience. It’s versatile, easy to make, and sure to please both the young and the old alike, making it a fantastic start to any day.
