Notes
Egg and Cheese Toasts are best enjoyed hot and fresh. Serve them on their own or with fresh fruit or a light salad. For added flavor, consider toppings like sliced avocado, crispy bacon, or heirloom tomatoes. You can also store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer until warmed through.
