- 10 grams (0.35 ounces) green onion, finely chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Paprika, to taste
Additional Ingredients:

Instructions
- Prepare a comprehensive egg mixture by cracking eggs into a mixing bowl, incorporating salt, black pepper, and paprika, whisking until smoothly blended.
- Enhance the egg mixture with finely chopped parsley, green onions, and mozzarella cheese, stirring to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat and gently melt unsalted butter, creating a golden cooking surface.
- Carefully immerse each bread slice into the herbed egg mixture, ensuring complete and uniform coating on both sides.
- Carefully transfer the egg-coated bread to the heated skillet, allowing each slice to sizzle and transform.
- Cook each side for 2-3 minutes, monitoring closely to achieve a crispy, golden-brown exterior without burning.
- Once perfectly toasted and crisp, transfer the herb-infused breakfast toast to a serving plate.
- Present immediately while warm, allowing the melted cheese and herbs to release their aromatic flavors.
Notes
- Bread Selection Matters: Choose thick-cut, sturdy bread like sourdough or brioche to prevent soggy results and provide a robust base for the cheesy egg mixture.
- Cheese Flexibility: Experiment with different cheese varieties like cheddar, Swiss, or goat cheese to customize flavor profiles and suit personal preferences.
- Temperature Control: Maintain medium heat while cooking to achieve an even golden-brown exterior without burning the toast or undercooking the egg mixture.
- Gluten-Free Adaptation: Swap regular bread with gluten-free alternatives like almond flour bread or cauliflower toast for those with dietary restrictions.
