The Perfect Egg Toastie Recipes

CHEESY EGG TOAST PERFECT FOR BREAKFAST RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• With a spoon, press down on the center of the bread to form a pocket.
• Line the edges of the bread with butter, and crack an egg into the pocket.
• Line the edges of the bread with shredded cheese.
• Sprinkle on salt and pepper, and bake at 400°F (204°C) for 10-15 min. 10 min will have a runny yolk whereas 15 min will have a firmer yolk.
• Enjoy!

THE PERFECT BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Put the eggs in a large pot with a lid. Pour cool water over the eggs until fully submerged and add the baking soda to the water. Put the pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Once the water is at a rolling boil, turn off the heat and cover the pot with the lid. Allow the eggs to sit in the hot water for the following times according to the desired doneness: 3 minutes for SOFT boiled; 6 minutes for MEDIUM boiled; 12 minutes for HARD boiled.
• Prepare a bowl of ice water. Transfer the cooked eggs to the ice water to cool completely before peeling.

PERFECT SUNNY-SIDE-UP EGGS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over low heat until slightly shimmering, about 5 minutes. Crack an egg into a small ramekin and slowly add it to the skillet; repeat with the other egg, adding it to the other side of the skillet. Cover with a tight lid and cook, uninterrupted, until the whites are completely set but the yolks are still runny, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Slide the eggs out of the skillet onto a plate or toast. Season with salt and pepper.

CREAMED EGGS ON TOAST

Steps:

• Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks. Place the egg yolks into a bowl and mash with a fork. Chop the egg whites into small pieces and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan set over medium heat. Stir in flour until smooth. Gradually mix in the milk and chicken bouillon so that no lumps form and stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. Add the egg yolks and mix until dissolved. Stir in egg whites. Serve over toast and season with salt and white pepper.

THE PERFECT EGG TOASTIE

Steps:

• Brush the sandwich toaster with a little sunflower oil and preheat to its highest setting.
• Brush the bread with oil on one side only. Break the eggs into two separate cups.
• Place one slice of bread in the toaster (oiled side down) and press the bread down into the triangular recesses with the back of a spoon (taking care not to puncture the bread or your egg will leak out). With a metal spoon, carefully spoon the whole yolk of each egg into each of the two recesses. Whisk the white of the eggs lightly with a fork to break them up a bit and then spoon as much white around the yolks as your recess will hold. Do not overfill or your sandwich will leak. You may well have some egg white left over; as a guide, I can get about 1.5 egg whites in my toaster.
• Gently place the second slice of bread on top (oiled side up) and bring the lid down slowly so that it rests on the sandwich. (Do not squash it or attempt to lock the toaster shut at this stage). Leave in this position for 2 minutes. Then, slowly close and lock the lid, and cook for a further 3 minutes. After this time the toastie should be golden and crisp on the outside, and on the inside the white should be set and the yolk still runny.

FRIED EGG FLORENTINE TOASTIE

Steps:

• Remove the centre of both slices of bread with the rim of a drinking glass or a cookie cutter. Spread each slice with a little butter and top both with the cheddar and torn spinach leaves - pack as much cheese and spinach on as you can. Heat a large non-stick pan over a medium heat and drizzle in the oil.
• Once the pan is hot, sandwich the bread together. Using a fish slice, place in the pan and press down to brown. Cook for 4-5 mins on a medium heat until the cheese begins to melt.
• Flip the sandwich over and crack the egg into the hole in the middle. Cover the pan with a lid to cook the egg through for 3-4 mins. Transfer to a plate, drizzle over some sriracha and serve with spinach or watercress on the side.

TOASTIE TREATS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes, and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, then mash with milk and butter until smooth. Spoon into a pastry bag with a large round tip; set aside. Preheat oven on broiler setting.
• Heat a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Shape ground beef into 4 patties, and fry until evenly brown, about 5 minutes on each side. Fry the 4 eggs.
• Place a burger on each piece of toast. Pipe mashed potato around the edge to form a wall on the edge of the toast. Heat the beans, and spoon onto each burger, inside the wall of potato. Cover with a slice of cheese.
• Place burgers under broiler until cheese is melted, then top each with a fried egg.

SIMPLE SOFT-COOKED EGG WITH TOAST

Steps:

• Place egg in a small saucepan, and add enough cold water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil. Cook for 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toast bread. Butter, and then cut in half diagonally. Remove egg from saucepan. Briskly tap wider end of egg with the back of a spoon until shell cracks. Remove the cracked top with the spoon. Season with salt and pepper, and serve with the toast.
