How to Make Eggs on Toast
Eggs on toast is a delicious breakfast. Its simplicity not only makes it tasty but also makes it a dish that works for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Classic dishes, like eggs on toast, are popular because they taste amazing, but also because there are so many ways to make the meal more exciting and unique. At the same time, you really can’t go wrong with the tried and true classic of simply cooked eggs on perfectly toasted bread.
1. **Warm a greased skillet over medium heat.** Add butter, oil, or any other type of cooking fat to a medium-sized skillet. Let the pan heat up for about a minute, long enough that the eggs will start cooking as soon as they enter the pan but not too long that the butter browns.
2. **Add your eggs to the heated skillet and cook over medium heat.** Once your pan is warmed up, you can add the eggs. Use any amount of eggs you like, depending on how many people you are feeding. If you want fried or over-easy eggs, just crack the eggs into the pan. If you want to make scrambled eggs, you’ll also want to crack them into the pan but be sure to whisk them quickly.

If you are making scrambled eggs, don’t forget to keep stirring them as they cook.
If you are nervous about cracking eggs directly into the pan, you can crack them in a bowl first to be sure you catch any stray shell pieces. For scrambled eggs, you can whisk them in the bowl and then add them to the pan.
3. **Toast your bread while your eggs are cooking.** While your eggs cook, you will want to be sure to get your bread toasting, so it will be done when the eggs finish cooking. Toast the bread until it is golden brown. Use whatever kind of bread you like.
4. **Flip the eggs once the bottoms have cooked completely.** If you are making a fried or over-easy egg, flip the egg once the bottom has browned. This usually takes about three minutes. If you are making scrambled eggs, continue stirring until the eggs are no longer liquid.
5. **Cook your eggs until fully cooked.** Whether you are going for a fried egg, an over-easy egg with a gooey center, or soft scrambled eggs, you'll want to watch them carefully and cook them until the whites are completely cooked. Cook scrambled eggs until they hold their shape and are no longer liquid.

Don’t forget to add salt and pepper.
Think about adding a little bit of cheese to make your eggs on toast that much more delicious.
6. **Butter your toast while your eggs cool slightly.** Once your toast is golden brown and toasted, you can spread a small amount of butter over your toast. Adding butter will enhance the overall flavor and will eliminate the dryness that can come with toasted bread.
You can absolutely use dairy-free butter.
7. **Assemble the eggs onto the toast.** Once your eggs are cooked, and your toast is toasted, it is time to put it all together. Place the eggs on the buttered toast and enjoy your breakfast.
8. **Add meat to your eggs on toast.** Adding meat to your eggs on toast not only contributes extra protein, but it will also make your meal more filling and maybe even more delicious. Add meat to your eggs as they cook, or cook the meat separately and place it between the eggs and toast.

Vegan meat products work just as well as regular meat.
Bacon and traditional breakfast sausage are delicious with eggs on toast.
9. **Add vegetables to your eggs on toast.** The combination of eggs, toast, and vegetables will make your meal a bit more healthy. Plus, vegetables add fantastic flavor to any meal.

Try cooking onions, garlic, and peppers with your eggs.
Make your breakfast into a salad by topping your eggs on toast with dressed arugula.
Combine two classic breakfasts: avocado toast and egg on toast. Just slather some avocado on top of your toast and then pile on your eggs.
10. **Poach your egg to make your eggs on toast more interesting.** Think Eggs Benedict, but without the hassle of making a hollandaise sauce. Poaching eggs is a fairly simple process when you get the hang of it. Try a poached egg on toast for a more upscale experience.
11. **Warm a greased skillet over medium-low heat.** Add a small amount butter, or dairy-free butter (around a teaspoon), to your skillet and warm it for a minute while you start to prepare your bread.
12. **Butter both sides of one piece of bread.** Buttering both sides of the bread will allow the bread to brown nicely in the pan.
Vegan butter or ghee will work just as well as regular butter.
13. **Cut a small circle out of the middle of the bread.** You’ll want your circle to be large enough to fit the single egg you will crack into the hole, but not so big that you don’t have any bread left.
You can use a small glass or biscuit cutter to make the hole.
14. **Put the piece of bread into the skillet and cook for a minute on medium-low.** Once you’ve cut the hole out of your toast, you can add it to the warmed skillet. Let the bread cook for a minute before adding the egg.
15. **Crack an egg into a cut and tip it into the hole of the bread in the skillet.** Cracking your egg into a cup will give you more control and ensure you catch any pieces of shell. Gently add your cracked egg into the hole that you’ve made in the center of the bread. If you do this slowly, it has a better chance of staying completely in the hole. 
Don’t worry if it doesn’t look perfect, it will still taste amazing.
16. **Cook the bread and egg on medium-low until the egg sets on the bottom.** It should take about a minute for the egg to set. You can test to see whether it has set by taking a spatula and gently lifting the bread. You’ll know right away when your egg has set because it will stay with the bread.
17. **Flip the bread and cook until the egg is cooked, and the bread has browned.** Everyone has their own preference on how long to cook their eggs, but you generally want the egg whites to cook completely. Use your judgment when deciding whether the egg has cooked enough. Also, watch the bread to make sure it doesn’t burn.
18. **Remove from the skillet and let cool for a minute before enjoying.** Once the egg-in-a-hole has cooled, you can season it with salt, pepper and add your favorite condiments.
