Recipe: the all-in-one grilled toast

We've been on a mission to make our Saturday mornings healthier and tastier. No more leftover pizza from a lazy Friday night in, no more skipping breakfast altogether because we have nothing in the fridge, no more dashing to Sainsburys for last-minute custard crowns. Those days are gone. So what's this all-in-one grilled toast all about?

All-in-one grilled toast recipe

What you need

  • large eggs -4

  • multi-seeded bread - 4 slices

  • dried oregano - 1/2 tsp

  • grated cheddar - 2 cups

  • sausages - 4

  • vegetable oil - 2 tsp

  • salt and pepper to taste

What you do

  1. Grill the sausages

  2. While the sausages are cooking, beat your eggs

  3. Add the oregano, salt, and pepper

  4. Whisk it all together with a fork

  5. When the sausages are ready, pull them out and slice

  6. Pour 1 tsp of oil onto a flat bottomed pan, spread it out, and heat on medium

  7. Dip a slice of bread into the egg mixture and place on the pan

  8. Arrange 6 slices of sausage on the bread

  9. Add a handful of grated cheese on top

  10. Grind some pepper on top

  11. Allow the egg toast to cook for a couple of minutes

  12. Check the underside is done

  13. Use a large spatula to lift the toast off the pan, and place on a baking tray

  14. Do the same with the other slices of bread. My pan only fit one slice at a time and my baking tray only fit 2 slices, so I grilled these in two batches

  15. Place under a grill at 250 degrees, until the cheese has melted and turned golden brown

  16. Eat hot!

Tip 1: We used leftover grilled sausages for this, so saved a lot of time

Tip 2: I also made a vegetarian version, replacing the sausage with a handful of fresh chopped chives. This was very good, maybe even better than the meaty version!

Tip 3: Add a dash of mustard to the egg mixture for some zing

Tip 4: Pour a little extra egg mixture on the toast once you've put the cheese on, it grills beautifully
