For this nostalgic recipe, I actually wanted to highlight one that was popular across social media about 5 years ago. Given the recipe’s simplicity, it’s no wonder that it was a hit back when everyone was locked up in their homes with nothing better to do. 2020 was only a few years ago and not really a part of my childhood, but I do recall making sandwiches in a similar manner when I was younger, because I hate having to clean so many pots and pans to make a meal for just one person. So, I thought this would be the perfect recipe to highlight a couple nostalgic times in my life.
One of my favorite parts of this recipe, like with all of my favorite recipes, is that it’s highly customizable, with you being able to adjust the fillings to your liking. I really enjoy using this recipe to make monte cristo sandwiches, with ham, cheese, and some jam, but you are more than welcome to put in whatever you like!
You can also customize the bread to your liking as well, using white or wheat or even sourdough. And you can even make your own from scratch by taking a trip down memory lane and using one of my many bread recipes over the past few years.
But regardless of what type of ingredients you use, this delicious one pan egg sandwich will be a great way to quickly make some delicious food, with little cleanup, for breakfast or any other time of the day!
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2-3 eggs
- Some salt and pepper
- 1-2 slice(s) of bread
- Fillings:
- Some cold cut ham/turkey
- Some cheese
- Some bacon
- Some jam
Step 1: Prepare Ingredients
First, before we cook the eggs, if you need to cook your bacon or want to crisp up your cold cut meat, you can use your pan to do so.
And for any other fillings, prepare them now so that we can add them quickly when we fill the egg sandwiches.
During this time, we’ll want to prepare the eggs as well, so crack some eggs into a bowl, add some salt and pepper, and give this a mix.
Also, if you plan on using 1 slice of bread, slice it in half at this time, as well.
Step 2: Cook Eggs & Dip Bread on Both Side in Egg & Let Cook
Then, when you’re ready, we’ll cook the eggs, so over medium low heat, heat your pan and then add in your butter. If you cooked some bacon before, you can also use the grease as a substitute.
Then, once your pan is ready, pour in your egg mixture and then give it a swirl to spread the egg evenly over the pan. Next, quickly and carefully dip and flip your bread to coat both sides with egg.
Then, lay them about 1-inch apart on top of the eggs. Let this cook for a couple of minutes so the eggs fully set.
Step 3: Flip Your Bread & Eggs Over
Once the eggs have set, carefully flip the bread and eggs over. Once it’s flipped, fold all of the overhanging sides of the egg into the middle, on top of the bread.
Then, if using, place your prepared fillings of choice on top of this. Let your bread toast up for a minute or so, and then fold one slice over the other so that it becomes a sandwich.
Step 4: Remove from Heat; Serve Immediately; & Enjoy!
Remove the sandwich from the heat, add it to a plate ready to serve, and with that, your One Pan Egg Toast is ready to eat.
