Ingredients
2 Slices Bread
1 Large Egg
1/2 cup (2 ounces) Grated Cheese, like cheddar, pepper jack, or gruyere
1 teaspoon finely chopped Fresh Herbs, like thyme or rosemary
Salt and Black Pepper
Pinch Cayenne (optional)
Instructions
Lightly toast the bread slices or broil for 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. If using a toaster oven, adjust the cooking rack to the bottom placement and select the BAKE setting.
Crack the egg into a small bowl and beat with a fork until the yolk and white are combined. Mix in the grated cheese and fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Spread the mixture over the bread slices, extending all the way to the crusts. Optionally, sprinkle with cayenne for a spicy kick.
Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese and egg mixture is puffed, bubbly, and beginning to brown, about 10 to 12 minutes.
