Fried Cheese Egg Toast – The Breakfast of Champions (In a Rut)
I'm not sure what your usual breakfast routine entails, but chances are you occasionally get bored with it, and crave something completely different, and when that happens, it doesn't get much more different than this fast, and easy fried cheese egg toast. Be careful though, since afterwards it's not easy going back to that bowl of oatmeal.
While pan-frying cheese may not sound particularly healthy, as it caramelizes, it gives up a fair amount of butter fat, which stays behind in the pan. So, you could actually spin this technique as a new, fat-reducing hack – unless you use that to butter the toast, which isn't a dumb idea.
By the way, I hope you like your yolks runny, since if you don't, this is not going to be nearly as great. Which reminds me, why do people not like runny yolks? What's not to like? I hope they don't think they're dangerous, because they're not. Anyway, if you are a fan of the flow, this fried cheese egg toast is the way to go, so I really do hope you give this a try soon. Enjoy!
