What ingredients do we need to make the Easy Cheesy Eggs On Toast?

Garlic chili butter –

We need butter, olive oil, chili flakes, fresh garlic (minced), paprika powder and pepper powder. I have used salted butter here but any works fine. You can use olive oil or any neutral oil you have on hand to make this recipe. For the minced garlic I like grating it through a micro plane but you can slice it finely as well.

Cheesy Eggs –

We need hard boiled eggs, assorted cheese, dried herbs and salt. When I say hard boiled eggs I mean eggs cooked for 8 mins in boiling water. It means the center would be soft and jammy. Not over boiled – however you can boil them as you please. I have used a mixture of cheeses here (normally I used the leftover of cheeses from my fridge) but for this recipe I have used mild and sharp cheddar, parmesan cheese and a little mozzarella cheese. I like seasoning the mixture with a little salt at this stage, dried oregano or basil are your best options with the dried herbs.

Assembly –

We need fresh herbs such as parsley, coriander, spring onions. You can use spinach, lettuce, rocket etc. a generous piece of toast.

What equipment do you need to make the Easy Cheesy Eggs On Toast?

A mixing bowl and fork to make the egg mixture. I like cutting the cheese into tiny cubes but you can grate it as well. As for the garlic chili butter you need a small sauce pan and spoon. I do not like to chop the herbs, I prefer them whole and.

How to make the Easy Cheesy Eggs On Toast?

We start by making the Garlic chili butter, in a small sauce pan over medium heat add the butter and oil. Let bubble up and add the chili flakes, paprika, pepper powder, minced garlic. Stir around and the color will change to a pale red. Let it cook for 1-3 mins on low to medium heat until it stops bubbling. Take off the heat and transfer to a glass jar. Set aside.

To make the eggs, add your boiled and peels eggs into a bowl. Cut them in half and roughly mash using a fork. Add the cheeses and mix until well combined and mashed through. It is best to mash the mixture while the eggs are warm as it melts the cheese ever so slightly. Season with salt and dried herbs. Stir and set aside.

Get a large piece of toast, add the fresh herbs on top, spoon over the egg mixture and top with the garlic chili butter. Serve it immediately for breakfast, brunch or as a mid day snack.

Once the egg mixture has been prepared, let cool down before you transfer it to an air tight container and place in the fridge for up to 5 days.
