Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Slices of bread
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped Chives
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of bread.
Place the bread slices, buttered side down, on the skillet.
Toast the bread on each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
Crack the eggs into the skillet, keeping them separate. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Flip the eggs if you prefer them cooked over-easy.
Place one cooked egg on each slice of toasted bread.
Sprinkle an equal amount of shredded cheddar cheese over each egg.
Cover the skillet with a lid for about 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.
Remove the lid and carefully transfer each cheesy egg toast to a plate.
Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.
