Simple Cheesy Eggs on Toast
Hard boiled eggs mashed with melted cheese and salt then drizzled with garlic, chili butter.
Ingredients
Garlic Butter Drizzle
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, finley minced
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon paprika
Cheesy Eggs
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup of your favorite cheese finely shredded
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 pieces sour dough or whole grain bread toasted
Instructions
Boil the eggs:
- Place 4 eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once the water has come to a boil, cover the pan and turn off the heat. Let sit for 5 minutes if you want a softer yolk and 10 minutes for hard boiled.
While your eggs cook, make the garlic butter:
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 clove of garlic, ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes, and ½ teaspoon of paprika. Let the butter bubble up and begin to brown and then remove from the heat and set aside. Don't let your pan get too hot. You don't want to burn the garlic.
Back to the eggs:
- Once the eggs have cooked for the desired amount of time, drain, peel, and slice them in half. While they are still hot, put them in a bowl along with ½ cup of your favorite shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper. (You want the eggs to be hot so that the cheese will melt easily) Use the back of a fork to lightly mash the eggs and cheese together.
- Spoon the mixture over the toast, drizzle with the garlic butter and fresh herbs if you have them. If not, no problem. It's still delicious.
