Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 slices Texas toast
- 1 can chili
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Place Texas toast slices in the skillet and toast until golden brown on both sides, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside on serving plates.
- In the same skillet, open the can of chili and pour it in. Heat the chili over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until it's thoroughly warmed through (about 3-4 minutes).
- Create four small wells in the heated chili for the eggs. Carefully crack each egg into these wells.
- Cover the skillet and cook until egg whites are set and yolks reach your desired consistency, typically 3-4 minutes for medium eggs.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the eggs and chili, allowing it to melt slightly.
- Using a spatula, carefully transfer the eggs and chili onto the prepared Texas toast slices.
- Garnish with chopped green onions for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately while hot, ensuring the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked to preference.
Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for fresh eggs and high-quality chili. If you have a favorite homemade chili recipe, feel free to use that instead of canned chili for an extra personal touch.
- Customize Your Cheese: While shredded cheese adds a delicious melty layer, feel free to experiment with different types of cheese like pepper jack for a spicy kick or cheddar for a classic flavor.
- Adjust Egg Cooking Time: If you prefer runny yolks, reduce the cooking time slightly. Keep an eye on the eggs to achieve your desired level of doneness.
- Add Extra Toppings: Elevate your dish with additional toppings like diced tomatoes, avocado, or jalapeños for a burst of flavor and freshness.
- Serve Immediately: This dish is best enjoyed hot, so make sure to serve it right after cooking to preserve the melted cheese and perfectly cooked eggs.
