Egg Cheese Herb Toast (Print View)

Golden toast topped with egg, cheese, and aromatic herbs for a quick, savory meal.

# What You'll Need:

→ Main

01 - 2 slices bread (white, whole grain, or sourdough)
02 - 1 large egg
03 - 1/2 cup (about 2 ounces) grated cheese (cheddar, gruyere, or preferred variety)

→ Flavorings

04 - 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh herbs (thyme or rosemary)
05 - Salt to taste
06 - Freshly ground black pepper to taste
07 - Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Set oven to 400°F or preheat air fryer to 370°F.
02 - Lightly toast both sides of the bread slices using a toaster or broil for 1 to 2 minutes per side.
03 - Beat the egg gently in a bowl. Incorporate grated cheese, chopped herbs, salt, black pepper, and cayenne if using.
04 - Evenly distribute the egg and cheese mixture onto each toasted bread slice, ensuring full coverage to the edges.
05 - Arrange topped bread on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the oven until puffed and golden, or cook in the air fryer for 5 to 7 minutes until bubbly and set. Utilize parchment or foil in the air fryer as needed.

# Notes:

01 - For a crisper texture, fully toast the bread before adding the topping. Use parchment or foil to facilitate removal if air frying.
