In a medium bowl, whisk together:
Eggs
Garlic powder
Paprika
Salt
Black pepper
Stir in the diced bell pepper, onion, parsley, and half of the shredded cheese.
Step 2: Assemble the Toasts
Lay four slices of bread on a work surface.
Sprinkle each with a little of the remaining cheese.
Top with another slice of bread to make four sandwiches.
Step 3: Coat with Egg
Dip or spoon the egg mixture over both sides of each sandwich, allowing the bread to absorb some of the mixture.
Step 4: Cook
Heat butter or olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
Cook the sandwiches for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and the egg is fully cooked.
If using sausage or extra toppings, add them to the top during the last minute of cooking and cover the pan briefly to melt the cheese.
Step 5: Serve
Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately.
Pair with:
Fresh fruit
A green salad
Yogurt
Salsa or hot sauce
Sour cream
Tips for Success
Cook over medium-low heat so the bread becomes crispy without burning.
Freshly grated cheese melts more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese.
Add spinach or mushrooms for extra vegetables.
Use whole wheat or sourdough bread for additional flavor and texture.
Storage
Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Reheat: Warm in a skillet, toaster oven, or air fryer until crisp and heated through.
