This Egg Toast is a quick and tasty breakfast that combines crispy bread with perfectly cooked eggs. It’s simple to make and super satisfying!
I love adding a sprinkle of cheese on top for extra flavor. Trust me, it makes your morning feel like a little celebration! Who doesn’t like cheesy eggs? 🧀
Making this is a breeze! Just toast the bread, crack an egg on top, and let it cook. It’s a great way to start your day with something delicious!
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Bread: Thick bread like sourdough works best for texture. If you don’t have that, try whole grain or even bagels for a unique twist. Just ensure it’s sturdy enough to hold the eggs!
Eggs: Fresh large eggs are the star! If you’re avoiding eggs, you could try tofu for a vegan option. Scrambled tofu with spices can give a similar feel.
Butter: Butter adds a rich flavor, but you can replace it with olive oil or vegan butter if needed. Use whichever you prefer for cooking eggs!
Milk/Cream: Milk or cream makes scrambled eggs creamy. Use almond milk or any nut milk for a lighter option, or skip it altogether if you’re looking for fewer calories.
How Do I Make Perfect Scrambled Eggs?
Scrambling eggs can be tricky, but here are some simple steps to ensure they come out fluffy.
- Whisk eggs well until the yolks and whites are fully combined. This aerates the mix.
- Heat your skillet on medium-low. Too high a heat can burn the eggs.
- Add butter and let it melt before pouring in the eggs.
- Stir gently with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking. Remove from heat just before they set for a creamy finish.
With these tips, you’re all set for a fantastic egg toast experience! Enjoy your delicious breakfast! 🥚🍞
How to Make Egg Toast with Scrambled and Fried Egg
Ingredients You’ll Need:
For the Toast:
- 2 slices thick bread (such as sourdough or rustic white bread)
For the Eggs:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp milk or cream (for scrambled eggs)
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For Garnish:
- Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Cooking oil or butter (for frying)
How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe takes about 10-15 minutes in total. You’ll spend about 5 minutes preparing your ingredients and another 10 minutes cooking and assembling the Egg Toast. It’s quick and delicious, perfect for a busy morning!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Toasting the Bread:
Start by toasting your slices of thick bread. You can use a toaster or heat a skillet over medium heat. Toast the bread until it’s golden and crisp on both sides. Once it’s ready, set the bread aside on a plate.
2. Preparing the Scrambled Eggs:
In a small bowl, whisk one of the eggs with the milk or cream and a pinch of salt. This will make your scrambled eggs creamy! Next, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add half of the butter. Once it’s melted, pour in the whisked egg mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until soft scrambled eggs form. When they look fluffy, take them out of the pan and set aside.
3. Frying the Second Egg:
In the same skillet, add a little cooking oil or the remaining butter. Crack the second egg into the pan and cook it sunny side up or over easy, depending on your preference. Don’t forget to season it with salt and pepper for extra flavor!
4. Assembling the Egg Toast:
Spread the creamy scrambled eggs over one slice of the toasted bread. Then, carefully place the fried egg on top. It’s looking good already!
5. Garnish and Serve:
To finish, sprinkle some chopped chives or parsley on top of the egg and add a pinch of black pepper. Serve immediately while it’s warm, and enjoy the delightful mix of flavors and textures!
Enjoy your hearty and delicious Egg Toast—a perfect balance of creamy scrambled eggs and a perfectly fried egg on crispy toast!
Can I Use Different Types of Bread?
Absolutely! While sourdough or rustic white bread works best for a crispy texture, you can use any bread you have on hand. Whole grain, bagels, or even English muffins are great alternatives!
What Can I Substitute for Milk or Cream?
If you’re out of milk or prefer a dairy-free option, almond milk or oat milk are excellent substitutes. For a thicker scrambled egg, you can use Greek yogurt in place of cream!
How Do I Store Leftovers?
Store any leftover scrambled eggs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or microwave before serving again. Toast the bread fresh for the best texture!
Can I Add Other Toppings or Ingredients?
Definitely! Feel free to customize your Egg Toast with toppings like avocado, cheese, sautéed vegetables, or hot sauce for some extra flavor. Get creative and make it your own!
