Perfecting the Cooking Process
Begin by toasting your bread to a golden crisp. While it’s toasting, whisk your eggs with seasoning in a bowl. Cook the eggs in a non-stick pan until fluffy, then layer on the cheese right before assembly for delicious melty goodness.

Store leftover egg and cheese toasts in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. To reheat, pop them in the toaster oven for a few minutes until heated through and crispy again.
