Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 2 slices of bread
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: Crack 4 large eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Slice the tomato into thin, even rounds. Shred the cheese if not already shredded.
- Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs thoroughly until the whites and yolks are completely combined and slightly frothy.
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt, coating the entire pan surface.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the buttered skillet. Using a silicone spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs continuously, creating soft, creamy curds.
- When the eggs are about 75% set but still slightly wet, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the eggs. Continue stirring gently to incorporate the cheese and prevent burning.
- While the eggs are cooking, toast the bread slices until golden brown and crisp.
- Arrange the fresh tomato slices on top of each toasted bread slice, creating a colorful base for the scrambled eggs.
- Once the eggs are fully cooked but still creamy and the cheese is melted, remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
- Carefully spoon the cheesy scrambled eggs over the tomato-topped toast. Season with an additional pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
- Serve immediately while hot, enjoying the combination of creamy eggs, melted cheese, and fresh tomato toast.
Tips
- Choose the Right Cheese: While cheddar is a classic choice, feel free to experiment with other cheeses like mozzarella, feta, or pepper jack for a unique twist on flavor.
- Low and Slow: Cooking your eggs over medium-low heat is key to achieving that soft, creamy texture. Be patient and stir gently to create the perfect curds.
- Fresh Ingredients: Use ripe, in-season tomatoes for the best flavor. Heirloom varieties can add a colorful and tasty touch to your toast.
- Customize Your Toast: Try using different types of bread, such as sourdough, whole grain, or even a bagel, to add variety to your dish.
- Add Herbs or Spices: Enhance the flavor profile by adding fresh herbs like chives or parsley, or spices such as paprika or chili flakes for a little kick.
- Don’t Overcook the Eggs: Remove the eggs from the heat while they are still slightly undercooked; the residual heat will finish cooking them perfectly without drying them out.
- Serve Immediately: For the best experience, serve your Cheesy Scrambled Eggs on Tomato Toast right away while everything is hot and fresh. Enjoy!
