A quick and easy comfort breakfast featuring slow-cooked creamy eggs served on crunchy, sturdy toast. Perfect for rushed mornings or relaxed weekends.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk or cream
  • 2 slices sturdy bread (sourdough, country loaf, or thick-cut whole grain)
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: fresh herbs (chives or parsley) for garnish
  • Optional: nutritional yeast for subtle cheesy flavor
  • Optional: hot sauce for a kick

Instructions

  1. Crack 3 large eggs into a mixing bowl. Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of whole milk or cream and a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk gently until combined but not frothy, about 1 minute.
  2. Place a non-stick skillet over low heat and add 1 tablespoon (14 g) of unsalted butter. Let it melt slowly until foamy but not browned, about 2 minutes.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it sit undisturbed for about 15 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, scraping the bottom as you go.
  4. Keep stirring slowly and continuously, lifting and folding the eggs until they start to thicken but remain glossy and creamy, about 4-5 minutes. Avoid rushing.
  5. While the eggs cook, toast two slices of your chosen bread to a golden crisp. Lightly butter the toast if desired.
  6. Once eggs are soft but not runny, remove the pan from heat immediately. Spoon the eggs onto the toast right away.
  7. Garnish with freshly chopped chives or parsley and add a crack of black pepper. Serve immediately.

Notes

Cook eggs slowly over low heat and stir gently to achieve creamy texture. Avoid high heat to prevent rubbery eggs. Season eggs after cooking to avoid watery texture. Toast sturdy bread about 1/2 inch thick to hold eggs without sogginess. For dairy-free, substitute butter with plant-based margarine and milk with almond or oat milk.
