Description
Savory Cheese Toast with Fresh Herbs is a quick, flavorful dish featuring crispy toast topped with melted cheese, fresh herbs, and a hint of cayenne for a delicious and comforting snack or meal.
Ingredients
- 2 slices of 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
- Toast the slices of bread in a toaster or on a griddle until golden brown and crispy.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg and add a pinch of salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir in the grated cheese and fresh herbs.
- Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or butter. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, stirring occasionally until the cheese is melted and the egg is cooked through, about 2-3 minutes.
- Place the toasted bread on a plate and spoon the cheesy egg mixture onto each slice.
- Garnish with additional fresh herbs or hot sauce, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Swap out the cheese for mozzarella, feta, or goat cheese, depending on your preference.
- For added flavor and nutrition, top with sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or tomatoes.
- Try using basil, oregano, or parsley for different herb variations.
