1. Prepare the Bread

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. Lay the bread slices on the baking sheet. If you prefer extra crunch, lightly toast the bread in a toaster before adding the toppings.

2. Mix the Egg Base

Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and pepper, then whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy. This helps create fluffier eggs.

3. Add the Cheese and Extras

Stir in the shredded cheese and any desired mix-ins, such as diced vegetables or cooked proteins. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

4. Assemble the Toast

Using the back of a spoon, press down lightly in the center of each bread slice to create a shallow “well.” This helps hold the egg mixture in place. Spoon the cheesy egg mixture onto the bread, spreading it evenly but leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow.

5. Bake the Toast

Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake for 8–12 minutes, or until the egg mixture is fully set and the cheese is melted and golden. Keep an eye on the toast to prevent over-browning.

6. Garnish and Serve

Remove the toast from the oven and let it cool slightly. Sprinkle with fresh herbs and any additional toppings like avocado or hot sauce. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
