Egg Toast with Vegetables (Healthy Breakfast Recipe)
Description
This recipe involves mixing eggs with salt, sweet paprika, and optional red pepper flakes or Aleppo-style pepper for gentle heat. Fresh chopped vegetables such as bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and green onions are incorporated along with crumbled feta and parsley. A drizzle of olive oil adds richness.
The egg and vegetable mixture is spooned over olive oil-brushed thick sandwich bread slices arranged on a baking sheet. Baking at 375°F until the eggs set softens the vegetables slightly while allowing the eggs to cook through, creating a layered texture with creamy interior egg and tender vegetable bites on a crisp base.
Variations include substituting green onions with red onions or switching cherry tomatoes for Roma tomatoes. Seasonings can adapt to include smoked paprika or homemade Italian seasoning blends for different flavor profiles. This dish offers a balanced start to the day with protein, vegetables, and cheese.
Ingredients
- 4 to 5 egg large
- kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon paprika sweet
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes or 1 teaspoon Aleppo-style pepper
- 1 bell pepper chopped
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes halved or chopped
- 2 green onion trimmed and chopped
- ¼ cup feta cheese crumbled
- 3 tablespoons parsley chopped, fresh
- extra virgin olive oil
- 4 lices sandwich bread thick cut
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and set a rack in the middle.
- Beat and season the eggs. In a medium mixing bowl, add the eggs and season with kosher salt, paprika, and red pepper flakes or Aleppo-style pepper, and whisk.
- Add the vegetables, etc. Add the chopped veggies, feta, and parsley, and a drizzle of good extra virgin olive oil.
- Prepare the bread. Brush a sheet pan with olive oil and arrange the bread on it.
- Top each slice of bread with a portion of the whisked egg mixture.
- Bake. Place the sheet-pan on the middle rack of your heated oven. Bake for about 15 minutes or until the egg mixture is fully cooked and the veggies have softened a bit.
Notes
- Try smoked paprika or homemade Italian seasoning for a different flavor twist.
- Use finely chopped red onions instead of green onions for a sweeter onion note.
- Swap cherry tomatoes for firm chopped Roma tomatoes for a different texture.
