Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Whole grain bread
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Low-sodium shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped chives or green onions (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Start by lightly toasting the slices of whole grain bread. You can use a toaster or oven set at 350°F (175°C) for about 3-4 minutes.
While the bread is toasting, melt the unsalted butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Crack the eggs into the skillet, taking care not to break the yolks. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are fully set and the yolks are still runny.
Season the eggs with black pepper and garlic powder to taste.
Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, carefully remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Sprinkle half of the low-sodium shredded cheddar cheese evenly over one slice of the toasted bread.
Top with a cooked egg, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
Place the second slice of toasted bread on top, if desired, or enjoy as an open-faced sandwich.
To allow the cheese to melt slightly, you can transfer the egg toasts back into the skillet (covering with a lid) for 1-2 minutes or microwave for about 20 seconds.
Garnish with chopped chives or green onions for added flavor and color.
Serve immediately and enjoy your low sodium cheesy egg toast!
