One Sheet Pan Baked Egg Toast

This super easy One Sheet Pan Egg Toast has egg, cheese, bread and vegetables, and the best part is it only takes five minutes of hands-on time to create a complete breakfast. 


I love a good, hearty breakfast. I’m a huge fan of things like warm toast completes with greens for breakfast. With 3 schooling kids at home, I try my best to shorten meal preparation time. Who has the time to stand beside the pan and flip the bread slices one by one? 




So I thought, I’d share a quick and easy way to make sure your family gets a hearty breakfast to start their day. This One Sheet Pan Egg Toast only requires 5 minutes of hands on time, leaving you ample time to get everyone ready to get out the door.


The cheese in this recipe is completely optional. You can also get a little more creative and add some spices to toast like garlic powder, onion powder, or herbs.


If you are really feeling fancy, throw in some veggies like thinly sliced bell pepper and chopped onions. It may takes a little extra effort but you can always prepare this in advance. 


I have also prepared a step-by-step video for you, enjoy cooking!

Spring onion curls are in fact very easy to make. With a simple little trick, it transforms the most plain-looking dish into a fancy-looking one.


Since young, watching my mom making these spring onion curls has been one of the most amazing things. I always wondered how the spring onion strips curled up after a few minutes of water bath. 


And now I have learnt the science behind it. 


Turns up, spring onion has cells with thick cell walls on the outer side, while cells with very thin and pliable cell walls on the inner side. Once soaked in water, the thin-walled cells absorb the water and expand, while the thick-walled cells cannot (because of their thick cell walls). This introduces an asymmetry that results in the curl!
