Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and prepare your workspace by getting a non-stick skillet, spatula, and cutting board.
- Lightly toast the bread slices until they are golden brown and have a crispy texture. Set aside on a plate.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray or add a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.
- Crack each egg directly onto a toasted bread slice, keeping the yolk intact in the center of the bread.
- Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper evenly over the eggs to enhance flavor.
- Cook the eggs on the bread for about 3-4 minutes, or until the egg whites are mostly set but the yolk remains slightly runny.
- Spread marinara sauce evenly over the eggs, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Generously sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara sauce, covering the entire surface.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the eggs to finish cooking.
- Remove from heat and transfer to serving plates. Let cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh basil leaves or red pepper flakes for added flavor and presentation.
Tips
- Choose the Right Bread: For the best texture, opt for a thick-cut bread like sourdough or ciabatta that can hold up to the toppings without getting soggy.
- Perfectly Cooked Eggs: Keep an eye on the eggs while they cook. If you prefer a firmer yolk, cook them a bit longer, but be careful not to overcook them.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative! Add your favorite toppings like sliced tomatoes, cooked bacon, or even fresh spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh mozzarella and homemade marinara sauce can take this dish to the next level. If you have the time, consider making your own sauce!
- Garnish for Flair: A sprinkle of fresh basil or a dash of red pepper flakes not only enhances the flavor but also adds a pop of color to your dish.
- Make It a Meal: Pair your Egg Toast Pizza with a side of mixed greens or a fruit salad for a well-rounded breakfast or brunch.
