Quick & Easy! Fluffy Toast Egg Bake
A Satisfying Breakfast Made with Simple Toast and Eggs
Enjoy a delicious and simple breakfast on busy mornings with this ‘Toast Egg Bake’ recipe. The slightly crisp toast paired with the soft, fluffy egg creates a wonderfully satisfying bite. While baking at 120-130°C for 20 minutes is a classic method, for a quicker option, I recommend using your oven’s highest heat for a short period, followed by the grill function to cook the egg perfectly. This method allows you to create a beautiful egg bake in under 10 minutes!
Bread and Eggs- 2 slices of bread
- 2 eggs
Flavor Boosters- Mayonnaise, a little
- Dried parsley flakes, a pinch (optional)
- Mayonnaise, a little
- Dried parsley flakes, a pinch (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gather all the ingredients needed for the recipe. You can leave the crusts on the bread or trim them off, as you prefer. Make sure to use fresh eggs.
Step 2
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise evenly over the surface of each slice of bread. Mayonnaise adds moisture to the toast and helps the egg adhere. Be mindful not to use too much, as it can make the dish overly rich.
Step 3
Carefully crack an egg onto the mayonnaise-covered bread. You can either leave the yolk intact for a runny center or gently break it so it spreads slightly. Sprinkle a pinch of dried parsley flakes over the egg for a touch of color and aroma. (Tip: Mayonnaise has a natural saltiness, so you likely won’t need any additional salt.)
Step 4
Gently place the bread slices with the eggs onto an oven-safe baking sheet or tray. Ensure the eggs are level and won’t spill into the oven during baking.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to its highest temperature setting (around 200-230°C or 400-450°F). If your oven has a ‘Stay On’ function, you can use that. Place the toast egg bakes into the preheated oven and bake for about 5 minutes. (Tip: While preheating is optional, it helps the bake cook more quickly and evenly.)
Step 6
After 5 minutes, switch your oven’s cooking mode to ‘Grill’ (or Broil) and lower the temperature to approximately 180°C (350°F). Continue to cook for another 5-8 minutes, or until the egg white is completely set and the mayonnaise has turned a light golden brown. For a softer yolk, aim for 5 minutes; for a fully cooked yolk, bake for 7-8 minutes. Enjoy your delicious toast egg bake while it’s warm!
