Instructions

  • Rye bread or sourdough is recommended for this recipe, or any firmer sliced bread. Lightly spread softened butter (or margarine) on the bread and set it aside.
  • To a bowl add the eggs, salt, feta and grated cheese and mix fully until combined.
    A hand sprinkles dried herbs from a jar onto a bowl of beaten eggs topped with shredded cheese, with a bakery display blurred in the background.
  • Spread a few tablespoons of the mixture on top of each slice of bread, making sure to cover all the way to the crust.
    A spoon spreads creamy scrambled eggs onto a slice of bread on a white plate, set on a wooden surface.
  • Place your parchment lined baking sheet on to the oven rack on the lowest position and set the oven to BROIL (top broiler on). Keep a close eye on the bread while it's in the oven. Mine took 10 minutes, but the cooking time will really depend on the oven. They are ready as soon as they turn golden and feel firm on top.
    Two golden-brown, seasoned pieces of bread or toast are baking on a ridged baking sheet inside an oven, with a melted and crispy surface.
  • Sprinkle on some dry oregano or dry savory and enjoy.

Notes

  • Breads: Be sure to choose a sturdy slice that can hold up to the egg and cheese topping, such as rye, sourdough, or my rustic No Knead Bread.
  • Cheese: Substitute Bulgarian 🧀 cheese (Kashkaval) with your favorite cheese such as cheddar, mozzarella, Swiss, or provolone.
  • Leafy greens: Add chopped greens such as 🥬 spinach, kale, or arugula to the egg mixture for extra greens.
  • Veggies: Mix in some finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes, olives, or bell peppers for a different flavor.
  • Proteins: Blend in some cooked 🥓 bacon bits, diced ham, or small pieces of smoked salmon for a protein boost.
  • Herbs: Use fresh 🌿 herbs such as basil, parsley, or dill instead of dried oregano or savory.
