Ingredients (1 Serve)

Step-by-Step (10 Minutes, No Stress)
- Toast your bread
Get this going first so everything finishes together. - Whisk the eggs
Crack eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk lightly. - Cook low and slow
Melt butter in a pan over low–medium heat. Add eggs and stir gently. - Keep them soft
Stir slowly, letting curds form without overcooking. - Add cheese
When eggs are just set but still soft, stir through cheese so it melts into the eggs. - Finish and serve
Spoon onto toast and add any extras (spinach, chilli, herbs).
👉 Soft, creamy, cheesy — exactly what you want.

Reheating Guide
Microwave:
