A Quick Start to Your Day: Pan-Fried Egg and Tortilla Toast
If you’re short on time for breakfast or just looking for a different and satisfying meal, this easy egg toast is for you! This recipe, which is as surprisingly practical as it is delicious, will be on your table in just a few minutes. Here’s a recipe for a pan-fried toast with a soft inside and a crispy outside, made with a tortilla!
Ingredients:
2 large eggs
1 large tortilla
1 tablespoon butter
2 slices of provolone or mozzarella cheese
2-3 slices of salami (optional)
1 tablespoon of pesto sauce (optional)
Salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, or any spices you like
Instructions:
- Whisk the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a deep bowl. Add salt and your favorite spices, and whisk well with a wire whisk.
- Start Cooking: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and melt the butter. Pour the whisked eggs into the pan.
- Place the Tortilla: The moment the bottom of the egg is lightly cooked and starts to bubble, immediately place the tortilla on top. Gently press down until the tortilla adheres completely to the egg.
- Flip: When the egg side is fully cooked, use a spatula to flip the tortilla so the egg side is facing up.
- Add Fillings and Fold: This step should be very fast! Quickly add the cheese, salami slices, and pesto sauce to one half of the tortilla. Then, fold the other half over the filling.
- Toast: Flip the folded toast and cook both sides in the pan until golden and the cheese is melted. Avoid pressing down too hard.
Pro Tips:
- Speed is Key: The most important part of this quick breakfast recipe is to work fast to add the bread and fillings before the egg overcooks.
- Versatility of Fillings: Feel free to get creative with your ingredients! Instead of salami, you can use tuna, mushrooms, roasted peppers, or different types of cheese.
- Alternative Bread: If you don’t have a tortilla, you can get the same delicious result with regular slices of toast bread. Just place two slices side-by-side on the egg and fold one over the other after adding the fillings.
Serving Suggestion:
Serve hot. It makes a perfect breakfast with a glass of fresh juice or a hot cup of coffee.
Enjoy your meal!
