Preparation
- Beat the eggs with the salt in a bowl until well combined.
- Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium heat and pour in the beaten egg.
- Lay the bread slices into the egg, pressing gently so they soak up the mixture, and cook until set underneath.
- Flip and cook the other side until golden, then serve hot.
Tips from the ZestyPlate Kitchen
- Press the bread gently into the egg so it soaks up plenty before it sets.
- Cook over medium heat so the egg sets and the bread toasts without burning.
- Flip carefully to keep the bread and egg together in one neat piece.
- Jazz it up with chopped onion, chilli, coriander or a little cheese in the egg.
Frequently Asked Questions
