Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 slices Sturdy Bread (White, whole grain, or sourdough recommended)
- 2 large Eggs (Use egg whites for a lighter version)
- 1/2 cup Cheese (Cheddar, gruyere, or mixed cheeses)
Seasonings & Herbs
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Herbs (e.g., thyme, rosemary, optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt (Adjust according to cheese used)
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon Cayenne (Optional for spice)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven or Air Fryer: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) or set your air fryer to the same temperature to prepare for baking the toasts.
- Toast the Bread: Lightly toast the bread slices in a toaster for 2–3 minutes to give them a firm base for the egg mixture.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk the eggs vigorously for 1 minute until smooth. Add cheese, fresh herbs, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper, mixing thoroughly until combined.
- Assemble the Toasts: Spread the prepared egg and cheese mixture evenly over the toasted bread slices placed on a baking sheet.
- Bake to Perfection: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or alternatively, air fry the toasts for 6–8 minutes, until the tops are puffed and golden brown.
- Serve and Enjoy: Allow the toasts to cool for a minute before serving. They pair beautifully with fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete breakfast.

- Fresh herbs are optional but add a lovely aromatic touch.
- Adjust salt depending on the saltiness of the cheese used.
