Easy Cheesy Eggs Recipe
This easy cheesy eggs recipe combines the comforting flavors of warm boiled eggs and melted cheddar cheese, served on buttery toast for a quick and satisfying breakfast or snack. Perfect for those looking for an easy food recipe that requires minimal ingredients and effort.
Equipment
- Medium bowl
- Fork or masher
Ingredients
- 4 warm medium-boiled eggs
- ½ cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
- Kosher salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Buttered toast for serving
Optional Garnishes:
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives and/or basil
- Crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, gently mash the warm boiled eggs and shredded cheddar cheese together with a fork. The warmth of the eggs will help melt the cheese. Season to taste with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread the egg and cheese mixture generously onto slices of buttered toast.
- Add Garnishes: Top each slice with fresh chives, basil, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.
- Serve Warm: For best results, serve immediately while the mixture is warm and gooey. If the cheese hasn’t melted fully, place the toast under a broiler for a few seconds to melt the cheese completely.
Notes
- The eggs need to be warm for the cheese to melt properly. If the cheese isn’t melting, broil the assembled toast briefly to heat it thoroughly.
- For added variety, swap cheddar for mozzarella or pepper jack cheese.
- This recipe is a great way to use up leftover boiled eggs.
