Ingredients
- 12 slices of bread
- 200g grated mozzarella cheese
- 12 eggs
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 pinch of black pepper
- 50g sliced mushrooms
- 50g fried bacon bits
- 6 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 50g additional grated mozzarella cheese
- 2 hot dog sausages, chopped into round slices
- Chives to taste
- Olive oil for greasing
Instructions
Toasting the Bread
- Preheat the Oven: Set your electric oven to 200°C (400°F). If you don’t have an electric oven, you can use a traditional oven or an air fryer.
- Toast the Bread: Place 12 slices of bread on the oven rack and toast for 15 minutes until golden brown. Toasting the bread adds a nice crunch and helps it hold up to the toppings and egg mixture.
Preparing the Baking Sheet
- Grease the Baking Sheet: Lightly grease a non-stick baking sheet with olive oil. This prevents the toasts from sticking and ensures easy removal once they’re baked.
- Layer the Toasts: Place six slices of the toasted bread on the baking sheet. Top them with 200g of grated mozzarella cheese. Cover with the remaining six slices of toast. This forms a sturdy base and adds a cheesy layer that will melt and bind the toasts together.
Preparing the Egg Mixture
- Whisk the Eggs: In a medium bowl, add 12 eggs, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Whisk until well combined. The eggs will provide a rich, custard-like texture that complements the toasted bread.
- Pour the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture over the layered toasts on the baking sheet. Use a brush to spread it evenly. This ensures that the egg mixture is evenly distributed, soaking into the bread and binding the layers together.
Adding Toppings
- Mushroom and Bacon Toasts: Top two of the toasts with 50g of sliced mushrooms and 50g of fried bacon bits. The earthy flavor of the mushrooms and the savory bacon add depth to these toasts.
- Tomato and Cheese Toasts: Top two other toasts with six halved cherry tomatoes and an additional 50g of grated mozzarella cheese. The fresh tomatoes and extra cheese create a juicy and cheesy combination.
- Sausage and Chive Toasts: Top the last two toasts with two hot dog sausages, chopped into round slices, and chives to taste. The sausages add a meaty texture, while the chives provide a fresh, herbal note.
Baking
- Bake the Toasts: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the toasts for 35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tops are golden brown. Keep an eye on them as baking times may vary depending on your oven’s power. Baking melds the flavors together and creates a crispy, golden top.
Serving
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the toasts are baked and the eggs are set, remove them from the oven. Let them cool slightly before serving to ensure they hold together. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious breakfast toasts. These toasts are perfect for a weekend brunch or a special breakfast treat.
Tips and Variations
- Different Cheeses: Try using different cheeses like cheddar, gouda, or feta for varied flavors.
- Additional Toppings: Add other toppings such as sautéed spinach, bell peppers, or caramelized onions for extra flavor.
- Bread Types: Use different types of bread like whole grain, sourdough, or rye to add different textures and flavors.
