Scrambled eggs and toast make a simple, tasty breakfast. The fluffy eggs are quick to cook and pair perfectly with crisp, toasted bread for a satisfying start to the day.
I like to add a little cheese or herbs to my eggs. It makes them extra yummy and fun to eat—I think breakfast should always have a tiny bit of surprise!
For an easy option, I often prepare everything ahead and reheat it. It saves time and keeps breakfast simple, even on busy mornings!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Eggs: I recommend using fresh eggs for the best fluffiness. If you don’t have eggs, silken tofu can be a great substitute in a pinch—just blend until smooth for similar texture.
Bread: Thick slices of bread, like Texas toast, work great for sturdiness. Whole wheat or sourdough add extra flavor, but plain white toast is perfectly fine and quick to make.
Butter: A bit of butter adds richness and makes the toast crispy. You can swap in margarine or olive oil if you prefer a dairy-free option—just use the same amount.
Salt & Pepper: Classic seasonings to enhance flavor. Feel free to add herbs or paprika for extra zing if you like.
How do I scramble eggs without overcooking them?
Cook eggs gently over low heat, stirring constantly. Keep the heat low to prevent dryness and curdling. Remove from heat just before they’re fully set, and let residual warmth finish the cooking for soft, creamy eggs.
- Start with low heat to avoid tough eggs.
- Stir continuously to cook evenly and keep them soft.
- Remove from heat when eggs are slightly runny; they’ll finish cooking off heat.
