Quick Cheesy Egg Toast Breakfast
This cheesy egg toast is pure comfort food, ready in minutes. It’s like a delicious, crunchy grilled cheese combined with perfectly cooked egg, making it a wonderful start to your day. 
Key Ingredients & Tips for Cheesy Egg Toast
- Choose Your Bread: A sturdy bread like sourdough or Texas toast works best here. It won’t fall apart when you soak it in the egg mixture.
- Cheese Mix: A blend of shredded cheddar and a little mozzarella gives you great flavor and a super gooey melt.
- Heat Control: Cook this on medium-low heat. This prevents the bread from burning while giving the egg time to set and the cheese to melt perfectly.
What You Need for Cheesy Egg Toast
- 1 slice sturdy bread (like sourdough or Texas toast)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- 1 teaspoon butter
- Pinch of salt and pepper
⏱️ Time: 10 minutes🍽️ Yields: 1 serving
How to Make Cheesy Egg Toast
Step 1: Prepare the Egg Wash
In a shallow bowl, beat the egg with milk, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Make sure everything is well mixed.
Step 2: Soak the Bread
Dip one side of the bread into the egg mixture for about 30 seconds. Flip it over and dip the other side for another 30 seconds. You want the bread to soak up a good amount of the egg.
Step 3: Cook the Toast
Melt butter in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Place the soaked bread in the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until it’s golden brown and the egg is cooked through.
Step 4: Add Cheese and Serve
Once both sides are cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the toast. Cover the pan with a lid for about 1 minute, or until the cheese is perfectly melted and gooey. Serve hot!
📝 Final Note
For a little extra flavor, you can sprinkle a tiny bit of garlic powder with your cheese before melting it.
Simple Cottage Cheese Egg Toast for Busy Mornings
This cottage cheese egg toast is a fantastic way to add extra protein and a creamy texture to your breakfast. It’s surprisingly quick to prepare and really filling, perfect for a busy start to your day. 
Key Ingredients & Tips for Cottage Cheese Egg Toast
- Cottage Cheese Type: I like using small-curd cottage cheese here because it mixes into the egg better and gives a smoother topping.
- Season Well: Don’t skip seasoning the egg and cottage cheese mixture. A good pinch of salt and pepper makes a big difference to the overall taste.
- Optional Toppings: Feel free to add fresh herbs like chives or a sprinkle of chili flakes after cooking for extra flavor and a pop of color.
What You Need for Cottage Cheese Egg Toast
- 1 slice bread (any kind you prefer)
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup small-curd cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon butter or olive oil
- Pinch of salt and pepper
- Optional: fresh chives or red pepper flakes for topping
⏱️ Time: 12 minutes🍽️ Yields: 1 serving
How to Make Cottage Cheese Egg Toast
Step 1: Mix the Topping
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, cottage cheese, milk, salt, and pepper until it’s well combined. It doesn’t have to be perfectly smooth, a few small curds are fine.
Step 2: Prepare the Bread
Lightly toast your slice of bread. This helps it stand up to the topping and adds a nice texture.
Step 3: Cook the Toast Topping
Spread the cottage cheese and egg mixture evenly over the lightly toasted bread. Heat butter or olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Carefully place the toast, topping-side down, into the hot pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the egg mixture is set and golden brown.
Step 4: Finish and Serve
Flip the toast over and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the bread side is nicely browned. You can also finish this under a broiler for a minute if you prefer the topping a bit firmer. Serve immediately with optional toppings like fresh chives or red pepper flakes.
📝 Final Note
This toast is best when you eat it right away. The fresh warmth really makes the flavors pop!
