👨‍🍳 How to

Egg in a Hole: Cut a circle from the center of a bread slice. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and toast the bread. Crack the egg into the hole and cook 2–3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook to your liking.

Cheesy Garlic Toast: Toast the bread lightly, then spread with garlic butter. Press down the center slightly, crack an egg into the middle, and sprinkle cheese around the edge. Bake or air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 6–8 minutes until the egg is set and cheese is golden.

Korean Street Toast: Mix the egg with cabbage and carrot. Fry like a mini omelet. Toast the bread in butter. Assemble with egg mixture, cheese, ham, and a sprinkle of sugar. Add sauces if desired and slice in half to serve.

Spicy Avocado Bread: Toast the bread. Fry or poach an egg. Mash avocado with lime juice, salt, and pepper. Spread on toast and top with the egg. Add chili flakes or hot sauce for a kick.

✅ Recipe Tips

Use thick-sliced bread for sturdier, crispier results
Crack eggs into a bowl first to avoid broken yolks
Don’t overload toppings—keep balance for even cooking
Line baking sheets with parchment for easy cleanup
Add your egg last when baking to ensure it doesn’t overcook before the toast crisps

📦 Storage

Most recipes are best served fresh, but you can prep ahead:
Refrigerate components like veggie omelets or cooked bacon separately (up to 2–3 days)
Toast bread in advance and reheat in a toaster or skillet
Avoid storing avocado toast once assembled—avocado browns quickly

🌀 Recipe Variations

Make it sweet: swap savory toppings for peanut butter, banana, and a soft-boiled egg
Mediterranean style: use hummus, feta, cucumbers, and poached egg
Tex-Mex: add beans, salsa, jalapeños, and pepper jack cheese
Low-carb: replace bread with roasted sweet potato slices or portobello mushrooms
Vegan: use chickpea flour batter or tofu egg and plant-based toppings

❓ FAQs

Can I meal prep these?
You can prep most ingredients ahead of time and assemble fresh. Avoid building avocado toast or cheesy toasts too early as textures change.

What’s the best bread to use?
Thick, hearty slices like sourdough, brioche, or Texas toast work best and hold up well to eggs and toppings.

How can I make these more filling?
Add extra protein like turkey slices, smoked salmon, or Greek yogurt on the side.

Are these kid-friendly?
Absolutely! Skip spicy toppings and let kids customize with their favorite cheese or simple scrambled eggs.
