Egg Cheese Toast
A one-pan egg cheese toast with no chopping needed. Soft egg, melted cheese, and a touch of sweet jam come together — simple to make, surprisingly delicious.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- Sandwich bread2 slices
- Eggs3
- Cheddar slices4 slices
- Fruit jam (or sugar)as needed
- Butter (or oil)as needed
- Salta pinch
Directions
- 1
Crack 3 eggs, add a pinch of salt, and beat until smooth. (Makes 2 toasts)
- 2
Heat a medium pan over low heat and melt the butter. Use oil if you don't have butter.
- 3
Pour half of the beaten egg (about 1.5 eggs' worth) into the pan.
- 4
When the edges set and the center is just custardy, place a slice of bread in the middle. Keep the egg soft rather than fully firm for the best texture.
- 5
Flip the egg and bread together. Two spatulas make it easier; keep the heat very low from now on.
- 6
Fold the four egg edges that stick out over the bread. If you're slow, turn off the heat briefly so the bread doesn't burn.
- 7
Lay 2 slices of cheese over the egg, covering it completely.
- 8
Spread fruit jam over the cheese, leaving the edges bare so it won't ooze out when folded. (Use sugar if you have no jam.)
- 9
Press the center of the bread with a spatula to make a crease — not cutting, just marking a fold line.
- 10
Fold it in half along the crease and it's done. A sprinkle of parsley makes it look even better.
Tips
The key is keeping the egg soft, not overcooked. Sugar works in place of jam, and you can skip the jam entirely for a savory version.
