Ingredients:
• 4 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or your favorite variety)
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup grated cheese (cheddar, Swiss, Gruyere, or your favorite processed cheese)
• 2 tablespoons butter, divided
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or parsley (for decoration)
• Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a cookie cutter or a knife, cut a hole in the center of each slice of bread to create a “nest” for the eggs. Place the bread slices on the prepared baking sheet.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the bread slices to the skillet and toast them on one side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the bread slices over and crack one egg into the center of each “nest” on the toasted side of the bread.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the eggs, covering the surface of the bread slices and eggs.
- Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- While the cheese egg toasts are baking, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
- Once the cheese egg toasts are done baking, remove them from the oven and carefully transfer them to serving plates.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the cheese egg toasts and garnish with chopped fresh chives or parsley.
- Serve hot and enjoy the indulgent flavors of your gourmet cheese egg toast breakfast.
Optional Additions:
- For an extra burst of flavor, add cooked bacon or ham slices on top of the cheese before baking.
- Experiment with different cheese blends or add-ins such as diced tomatoes, sautéed mushrooms, or spinach for a personalized touch.
