Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices bread
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup (2 oz) grated cheese (cheddar, pepper jack, or gruyere)
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh herbs (thyme or rosemary)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by lightly toasting the bread or broiling it for 1 to 2 minutes on each side to achieve a nice crisp.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (or set your toaster oven to ‘BAKE’).
- Crack the egg into a small bowl and beat it until well combined.
- Stir in the grated cheese and chopped herbs, seasoning with salt and black pepper.
- Spread the egg and cheese mixture evenly over the toasted bread slices. If you like a kick, sprinkle a pinch of cayenne on top.
- Bake in the oven for about 10 to 12 minutes until the mixture is puffed and lightly browned, or air fry at 340°F for 8 to 10 minutes for a quicker option.
Notes
For added flavor, drizzle with sriracha or hot sauce before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
