Instructions
Creating delicious Egg and Cheese Toasts is straightforward. Follow these easy steps:
1. Toast the Bread: Start by toasting the slices of bread in a toaster or on a skillet until golden brown. Set aside.
2. Melt Butter: In a non-stick skillet, add the butter over medium heat until melted and bubbly.
3. Crack the Eggs: Carefully crack the eggs into the skillet, keeping them as whole as possible for a fried effect.
4. Season Eggs: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the eggs to enhance their flavor. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes.
5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the eggs while they are still in the skillet. Cover with a lid for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.
6. Assemble the Toasts: Place the toasted bread on plates. Gently slide each egg-cheese combination onto a slice of toast.
7. Add Optional Toppings: If desired, add avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, or hot sauce for extra flavor and nutrition.
8. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your delicious Egg and Cheese Toasts hot and fresh!
