Once in a while, we deserve to serve hot breakfast that gets done in minutes. I used to enjoy the bread toasted on tawa with loads of ghee and the semi boiled egg which is seasoned just with salt and pepper.

So many evenings has this wholesome food put my hunger beast at rest when I used to head back home after school

While I was looking out for something nice and interesting to bake this week, these baked egg toast put me back to those nostalgic days and sounded more fun than it used to be.

It looks totally exciting being served, but the best part is, baking does not need any monitoring or you don’t have to stand by it while its being cooked. Set the timer to bake and you get back while its done

These are crunchy and a nice cracker for an easy and a simple breakfast and also a wholesome food in the evening.

The same could be made with breaking eggs ahead and mixed with vegetables and they could be used to fill up the center of the bread slices and the rest of the recipe followed as is. This is a great way of including vegetables together with eggs.

Include spices of Indian version and also skip the cheese if you are not a cheese person. You can also make the center dent in different shapes to impress your kids
