Today’s Tasty Pick: Cheesy Egg & Tomato Breakfast Melt

Happy Tuesday, fam — we made it to another one.

We have got my kind of weather today: cloudy, a little chilly, and just rainy enough to make staying inside feel like the best plan ever. You know the vibe — the type of day where all you really want is your own cosy corner and absolutely zero responsibilities.

So, keeping with the mood, I’m going extra simple in the kitchen.

Today’s thing is the Cheesy Egg & Tomato Breakfast Melt. This one doesn’t even need an intro. The name already tells you it’s exactly the kind of simple food this weather calls for.

Alright fam, let’s get into it… because I’m definitely ready to eat.

How to make Cheesy Egg & Tomato Breakfast Melt

Ingredients:

• 1 slice of bread (white or brown)
• 1 egg
• 2–3 slices of fresh tomato
• A small handful of grated cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
• 1 teaspoon butter or margarine
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Optional: a pinch of dried herbs (oregano or mixed herbs)

Method:

1. Prepare the Bread: Lightly butter one side of the bread and place it in a non-stick pan, buttered side down.
2. Add the Tomatoes: Arrange the tomato slices on top of the bread. Sprinkle a little salt, pepper, and herbs.
3. Crack the Egg: Crack the egg directly over the tomatoes — let it sit neatly on top. (If the egg slides off, gently press the tomatoes into the bread to help it stay.)
4. Add the Cheese: Sprinkle the grated cheese over the egg. It will help hold everything together as it melts.
5. Cover & Cook: Cover the pan with a lid and cook on low heat for 4–6 minutes until:
   *The cheese is melted
   *The egg is cooked to your liking
   *The bottom of the bread is crispy
6. Serve Hot: Slide the melt onto a plate and enjoy immediately. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a late-night snack.
   
   Asanda’s Twist:
   *Add a drizzle of sweet chili sauce or sriracha on top right before serving for an extra kick.
