Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 Slices Bread
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 1/2 cup (2 ounces) Grated Cheese, such as cheddar, pepper jack, or gruyere
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped Fresh Herbs, like thyme or rosemary
  • Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
  • Pinch Cayenne Pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread: Lightly toast the bread slices using a toaster or broil them for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until lightly browned and crisp.
  2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). If using a toaster oven, place the cooking rack on the bottom and select the BAKE setting for best results.
  3. Prepare Egg and Cheese Mixture: Crack the egg into a small bowl and beat it thoroughly with a fork until yolk and white are fully combined. Stir in the grated cheese and finely chopped fresh herbs. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to your liking. If desired, add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a subtle kick.
  4. Assemble the Toasts: Spread the egg and cheese mixture evenly over the toasted bread slices, covering the surface completely, including the crust edges.
  5. Bake: Place the assembled toasts on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the mixture is puffed up, bubbly, and beginning to brown on top.

Notes

  • Feel free to swap the cheese for your favorite variety or use a mix for extra flavor.
  • Adding fresh herbs enhances the taste but can be omitted or substituted with dried herbs.
  • If you prefer a firmer texture, bake for a minute or two longer.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
  • To make it vegetarian, ensure your cheese contains no animal rennet.
