Ingredients

  • 2 slices bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons diced red onion
  • 3 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons water or milk

For serving (optional)

Instructions

  • In a wide shallow bowl, mix the eggs, water, salt, pepper, red onion, and parsley.
  • Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Drizzle with oil.
  • Dip a slice of bread into the egg mix, flipping it over and coating it well. Let the excess egg drip off while keeping the onion and parsley on the bread, and place it in the hot skillet. If the onion and parsley haven't stuck to the bread, add more from the egg mixture bow.
  • Let cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until the egg is cooked through and the outside is golden brown and crispy. Repeat for the remaining slice.
  • Plate the toast, topping with a dollop of yogurt and a large spoon of pickled red onions. Drizzle sriracha sauce for a bit of heat. Serve hot.

Notes

Sub cilantro for the parsley.
Serving suggestions: top with a fried egg and avocado, or yogurt and pickled onions.
Don't oversoak the bread – a quick dip on each side is enough to coat it without making it soggy.
Preheat the pan before adding the bread to ensure even cooking and a crispy exterior.
Cook over medium heat to avoid burning the outside before the inside is cooked through.
