Super Simple One-Pan Toast
Effortless One-Pan Toast in 5 Minutes (Egg, Cheese, Ham, Strawberry Jam)
Let’s make the ‘One-Pan Toast’ that was super popular on social media! This toast is fun to make neatly, all in one pan. It’s perfect for a quick, satisfying meal, especially on busy mornings.
Main Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread
- 2 eggs
- 1 slice of ham
- 1 slice of cheddar cheese
- 1 Tbsp strawberry jam
- 1 piece of butter (approx. 10g)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, crack the 2 eggs into a bowl and add 2 pinches of salt. Use chopsticks to whisk them gently until the yolk and white are well combined. Avoid over-whisking to prevent too much foam.
Step 2
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and melt 1 piece of butter. Be careful not to burn the butter, and spread it evenly across the pan. The rich butter flavor will enhance the toast’s taste.
Step 3
Once the butter is melted, pour the whisked egg mixture into the pan. Immediately reduce the heat to medium-low. This prevents the egg from burning or cooking too quickly, and helps the toast cook evenly.
Step 4
Spread the egg mixture evenly in the pan. Then, place the 2 slices of bread side-by-side on top. Let them cook slowly for about 1-2 minutes, until the edges of the egg start to set. The bread will absorb some of the egg mixture.
Step 5
When the edges of the egg start to cook and the top of the bread looks slightly moist, carefully flip the bread along with the egg. You can gently fold the cooked egg edges around the bread with a spoon or spatula to help seal the filling inside (optional).
Step 6
On the flipped side of the bread, spread 1 Tbsp of strawberry jam evenly. The sweet jam creates a delicious harmony with the egg, cheese, and ham. Feel free to use other jams or syrups according to your preference.
Step 7
Place 1 slice of ham and 1 slice of cheddar cheese on top of the jam. The melting cheese will beautifully bind the ham and bread together.
Step 8
Now, fold the toast in half, like a sandwich, to create a crescent shape. Make sure to fold it snugly so the filling doesn’t spill out.
Step 9
Grill both sides of the folded toast over medium-low heat for about 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy on the outside, and warm and gooey on the inside. Maintaining medium-low heat is key here.
Step 10
Your delicious One-Pan Toast is ready! Enjoy this fantastic meal or snack that’s easy to make with minimal cleanup. It’s best served warm!
