Mediterranean Style Breakfast Toast
Description
The Mediterranean Style Breakfast Toast features a base of sliced Italian bread, sturdy enough to hold a rich topping that combines crumbled feta and shredded mozzarella cheese with eggs, diced red bell pepper, chopped parsley, and sliced kalamata olives. The inclusion of oregano and Aleppo pepper infuses the topping with herbal and mildly spicy notes while kosher salt balances flavors. After spreading the mixture across the bread slices, the dish is finished with a sprinkle of nigella and sesame seeds, which add crunch and a distinctive flavor touch. Baking melts the cheeses and cooks the egg mixture, solidifying a richly textured topping that contrasts with the toasted bread's crispness. This dish works well for a multi-person breakfast or brunch and can be complemented by a variety of vegetables or bread types as variations.
Leftovers can be stored refrigerated for a few days and reheated in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispness.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Italian bread
- 1 cup feta cheese crumbled
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 2 egg
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
- ½ cup kalamata olives sliced
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp nigella seeds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the Italian bread into evenly sized pieces, about 1/2 inch thick. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Combine crumbled feta, mozzarella, red pepper, parsley, and sliced kalamata olives in a bowl. Add the egg and then mix it into the cheese and vegetable mixture. Season with oregano, Aleppo pepper, and kosher salt to taste, and stir to combine.
- Evenly distribute the mixture on top of each slice of bread. Spread the mixture out to cover the bread slices completely. Sprinkle some nigella seeds and sesame seeds on top.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, the eggs are cooked through, and the bread is golden and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use bread sturdy enough to hold toppings, such as sourdough or French bread, as alternatives to Italian bread.
- Vegetable variations like sautéed spinach, leek, or cooked, seasoned potatoes offer flavorful alternatives.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for best freshness.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven or an air fryer to retain toast crispness and warm the toppings evenly.
