Scrambled eggs with toast is a simple, comforting breakfast. Soft, fluffy eggs are cooked just right and served with crunchy, golden toast. It’s a quick way to start your day feeling good.
I like to add a little cheese or herbs on my eggs. Sometimes I joke that I need a second plate just for the toast—they never last long!
If you’re in a hurry, keep your toast separate so it stays crispy. Add a dash of salt or pepper to your eggs for extra flavor with no extra effort.
Ingredients & Substitutions
Eggs: Eggs are the main flavor and texture. I find using fresh eggs makes fluffier eggs. If you want lower cholesterol, try liquid egg whites or egg substitutes — they work well for a lighter version.
Butter: Butter adds richness and helps prevent sticking. I like unsalted butter for control over salt, but margarine is a decent quick substitute. Keep the butter on low heat to avoid browning.
Milk or Cream: A splash of milk or cream makes the eggs creamier. I often use milk for a lighter touch. Non-dairy options like almond or soy milk work fine if you prefer dairy-free.
Toaster & Bread: Thick slices of bread toast nicely, giving a good crunch. I recommend whole wheat or sourdough for flavor. If you need gluten-free, try gluten-free bread slices.
How do I scramble eggs without them sticking or overcooking?
Use low heat and patience. Cook eggs slowly for fluffy results. Stir constantly so they don’t sit still and burn. Remove from heat before they look fully done—they’ll finish cooking off the stove.
- Start with a non-stick pan and low heat to prevent sticking.
- Continuously stir the eggs gently as they cook to create small curds.
- Remove the pan from heat when they’re mostly set but still slightly runny—they’ll finish cooking from residual heat.
