Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 4 to 5 large eggs
- Kosher salt, to taste
- ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes or 1 teaspoon Aleppo-style pepper
Vegetables & Cheese
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved or chopped
- 2 green onions, trimmed and chopped
- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Other
- Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling and brushing
- 4 slices of thick-cut sandwich bread
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and position a rack in the middle to ensure even baking.
- Beat and Season the Eggs: In a medium mixing bowl, crack the 4 to 5 large eggs and season with kosher salt, ½ teaspoon sweet paprika, and ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes or 1 teaspoon Aleppo-style pepper. Whisk thoroughly until blended.
- Add Vegetables and Cheese: Mix in the chopped bell pepper, halved or chopped cherry tomatoes, chopped green onions, crumbled feta cheese, and fresh parsley. Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil into the mixture and stir gently to combine.
- Prepare the Bread: Lightly brush a sheet pan with extra virgin olive oil and arrange the 4 slices of thick-cut sandwich bread evenly on the pan.
- Top Bread with Egg Mixture: Evenly distribute the egg and vegetable mixture over each slice of bread, ensuring the toppings are spread well and some of the mixture soaks into the bread.
- Bake the Egg Toast: Place the sheet pan on the middle rack of the preheated oven. Bake for about 15 minutes or until the egg mixture is fully cooked and the vegetables have softened to your liking. Remove from oven and serve warm.
Notes
- You can substitute feta with goat cheese or ricotta for a different flavor profile.
- Using thick-cut bread helps hold the egg mixture without becoming soggy.
- For a spicier kick, increase the red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce before baking.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven or toaster oven to maintain crispness.
- This recipe is easily adaptable to add other vegetables like spinach or mushrooms based on preference.
