Cheese Pull Toast Sunny Egg (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Toast
01 -
2 slices bread (sourdough, whole grain, or white)
02 -
2 slices cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or blend)
03 -
15 grams unsalted butter (for toasting)
→ Sunny-Side-Up Egg
04 -
1 large egg
05 -
5 millilitres butter or olive oil (for cooking egg)
→ Toppings
06 -
Fresh herbs (parsley or chives), finely chopped
07 -
Coarse black pepper, to taste
08 -
Pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Melt 15 grams butter, then add the bread slices. Press gently to ensure even contact and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
02 -
While the bread is still hot in the skillet, place a slice of cheese on each piece of toast. Cover the skillet for about 30 seconds to allow the cheese to melt and create a gooey stretch.
03 -
In a separate non-stick skillet, heat 5 millilitres butter or olive oil over medium-low heat. Crack the egg carefully into the pan, keeping the yolk intact. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the whites are set and the yolk is runny. Cover briefly, if desired, to help cook the whites.
04 -
Arrange the cheesy toast on a serving plate. Place the sunny-side-up egg on one slice.
05 -
Sprinkle fresh herbs, coarse black pepper, and a touch of cayenne over both slices. Serve immediately to enjoy the melted cheese and runny yolk.
# Notes:
01 -
Covering the skillet helps the cheese melt quickly and evenly. Using fresh eggs ensures a well-shaped sunny-side-up result.
