Making a simple yet delicious egg toast at home is easy and can be done in various ways. Here’s a classic recipe for egg toast:
### Ingredients:
- **Bread**: 2 slices (whole grain, white, or your choice)
- **Eggs**: 2
- **Butter or oil**: 1-2 teaspoons
- **Salt**: to taste
- **Pepper**: to taste
- **Optional toppings**: cheese, avocado, tomatoes, spinach, herbs, etc.
### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Bread**:
- Lightly toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a dry skillet until they are slightly crispy but not too hard.
2. **Cook the Eggs**:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add butter or oil to the skillet and let it melt and coat the pan evenly.
- Crack the eggs into the skillet, keeping them separated.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Cook the eggs to your liking:
- For sunny-side up: Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
- For over-easy: Flip the eggs gently and cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- For scrambled: Beat the eggs in a bowl, then pour into the skillet, stirring gently until cooked through.
3. **Assemble the Egg Toast**:
- Place the toasted bread slices on a plate.
- Top each slice with one cooked egg.
- Add any optional toppings you like (cheese, avocado, tomatoes, spinach, herbs, etc.).
4. **Serve**:
- Serve immediately while the eggs and toast are still warm.
### Variations:
- **Cheesy Egg Toast**:
- After placing the egg on the toast, sprinkle some shredded cheese over the top and place under the broiler for a minute until the cheese melts.
- **Avocado Egg Toast**:
- Spread mashed avocado on the toast before placing the egg on top. Season with a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- **Vegetable Egg Toast**:
- Add sautéed spinach, sliced tomatoes, or roasted vegetables on the toast before adding the egg.
### Tips:
- **Fresh Ingredients**: Use fresh eggs and good-quality bread for the best taste.
- **Non-stick Pan**: A non-stick skillet makes it easier to cook the eggs without sticking.
- **Temperature**: Cook eggs on medium heat to avoid overcooking or burning them.
