Egg hats with goat cheese and whole-wheat toast is a simple yet delicious breakfast option that combines the creamy richness of goat cheese with the nutritional benefits of whole-wheat bread and eggs. This recipe is perfect for a quick morning meal that doesn't compromise on taste or health benefits.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Take the eggs out of the refrigerator so they can come to room temperature.
- Slice the goat cheese if it isn’t already pre-sliced.
- Set aside the whole-wheat bread slices and butter.
- Preheat a toaster or toaster oven to medium-high.
- Place the two slices of whole-wheat bread in the toaster and toast until golden brown and crispy.
- While the bread is toasting, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Swirl the butter to coat the skillet evenly.
- Crack both eggs gently into the pan, keeping the yolks intact. Cook sunny side up or to your desired doneness. This typically takes about 2-3 minutes until the whites are fully set but the yolks remain runny.
- Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, if desired.
- Once the toast is ready, spread the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter evenly over the two slices while they’re still warm.
- Place one slice of goat cheese on each buttered toast. The heat from the toast will start to soften the cheese, making it easier to spread.
- Carefully place one cooked egg on top of each goat cheese-covered toast slice. The warm egg will partially melt the goat cheese, combining the flavors deliciously.
- Transfer the Egg Hats with Goat Cheese and Whole-Wheat Toast to a serving plate.
- Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or a dash of black pepper for added flavor and presentation.
- Serve immediately while the toast is still crispy and the eggs are warm. This dish pairs well with a fresh salad or some fruit on the side.
Tips:
- Use fresh, local eggs for the best flavor and nutritional value.
- Let the goat cheese come to room temperature before using it; this will make it easier to spread.
- Opt for high-quality whole-wheat bread to maximize fiber and nutrient intake.
- Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness of your dish, and add a pinch of sea salt if desired.
Egg hats with goat cheese and whole-wheat toast are a fantastic way to start your day with a nutritious and satisfying meal. With just a few ingredients, you can whip up a breakfast that is both delicious and healthful. Enjoy your meal!
