What Makes This Egg Toast Recipe the Best?
There is a secret ingredient that takes scrambled eggs from good to super tasty. It is feta cheese. Feta adds a wonderful texture and improves the taste of scrambled eggs. Of course, you'll want to use good-quality feta cheese. Try to find the kind that is sold in bricks, not crumbles. If you'd like, you can order feta cheese from Amazon.
Main Ingredients
- Bread. There is no best bread, just use your favorite kind. Whole wheat, keto bread, or even tortillas work well too. A good slice of bread is all you need.
- Butter. Real butter and no fake substitutes, please.
- Eggs. I like to use organic, pasture-raised eggs, but use whatever you can afford.
- Feta Cheese. Try to use good quality feta cheese.
- Fresh Herbs. Garnish with your favorite herbs, such as dill, parsley, scallions, cilantro, or basil.
That's it!!! Let's get started.
How to Make Egg Toast
1. Spread a thin layer of softened butter on both sides of the bread. Fry the bread over medium heat for about 2 minutes on each side, until a golden brown crust forms. Alternatively, you can use a toaster or toaster oven to toast your bread.
2. Remove the bread from the frying pan and add ½ tbsp. of butter. Add the eggs and feta cheese and cook on medium-low heat, stirring often, for about 3-4 minutes, until the eggs are cooked through. (Please, note that I am not adding salt, because my feta is quite salty. You might need to add just a pinch of salt, depending on your preference).
3. Divide the eggs between the bread slices and sprinkle them with fresh herbs (dill, basil, green onions, or parsley). You can also sprinkle some black pepper, or a few red pepper flakes.
4. Make a cup of coffee for yourself and enjoy The Best Scrambled Egg Toast.
FAQs
- What type of bread can be used for Egg Toast? Use your favorite kind! White, wheat, whole grain, rye, pumpernickel, and sourdough bread are all great options. Feeling fancy this morning? Use a croissant instead. 🙂
- Where can good quality feta cheese be found? I recommend buying sheep’s feta cheese that is sold in bricks and stored in brine. I buy it from a local Bulgarian store, but good feta cheese is sold in many large supermarkets and health food stores. Just look around the cheese section or ask a store associate to help you out. You can also order feta cheese from Amazon.
- How can I customize this Egg Toast? If you feel adventurous this morning, place a slice of mozzarella on the bread before adding the eggs. You may also enjoy adding some chopped tomatoes or roasted peppers to the eggs. Oh! And some sliced ripe avocados fit really well on top of the egg!
- Is Egg Toast healthy? Eggs make a good source of protein and healthy fat, while the toast is a source of complex carbohydrates. If you use whole wheat bread, you will benefit even more, since whole grains take longer to break down. Together, these will keep you full for a longer time (when compared to cereal or oatmeal) and give you the energy needed for your busy morning. So, I think it's a healthy breakfast.
- Can I use only egg whites? Yes, you can do that. You can make some Dutches potatoes or cream Brulee with the remaining egg yolk.
So there you have it, friends. My yummy and simple breakfast recipe. Soft fluffy eggs, sitting on top of crispy bread. The best part is that it's made in under 10 minutes so it's perfect for those busy mornings. It's one of the most favorite recipes on Cooktoria, and I am excited to see how many of you make it every day.
