Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Main Ingredients:
  • 4 slices bread white, whole-grain, or multigrain
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup grated cheese 100g / 3.5 oz, cheddar or mozzarella
  • 2 tbsp butter 28g / 1 oz
  • 1 tsp garlic finely minced
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Optional Add-Ins:
  • Fresh herbs: parsley cilantro, chives
  • Red chili flakes or paprika for spice

Method
 

  1. Preparing Ingredients
  2. Grate cheese: Grate 1 cup (100g) of cheese of your choice.
  3. Mince garlic: Finely mince 1 tsp garlic for butter flavor.
  4. Beat eggs: In a bowl, whisk 3 eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
  5. Prep bread: If using thick slices, lightly toast for 2-3 minutes to firm up the surface.
  6. Cooking Steps
  7. Make garlic butter: In a small pan, melt 2 tbsp butter over low-medium heat (150°C / 300°F). Add minced garlic and cook 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  8. Toast bread: Brush garlic butter on bread slices. Toast in a skillet or oven at 180°C / 350°F for 3-4 minutes until golden.
  9. Cook eggs: In a non-stick skillet, add a small amount of butter. Pour whisked eggs and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until soft but fully cooked.
  10. Assemble toast: Place cooked eggs on toasted bread slices.
  11. Add cheese: Sprinkle grated cheese generously on top of eggs.
  12. Melt cheese: Place under a broiler or cover skillet for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted and slightly golden.
  13. Optional garnish: Add fresh herbs or red chili flakes for extra flavor.
  14. Serve hot: Serve immediately with a cup of coffee, tea, or fresh juice.
