Ingredients
  

4 slices of sourdough or whole-grain bread

4 large eggs

1 small red chili, finely chopped (adjust to taste for heat)

1 tablespoon olive oil, divided

1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bread:

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the slices of bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle each slice with a little olive oil, ensuring they are coated evenly. Toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes or until they are golden brown and slightly crispy. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.

      Whisk the Eggs:

        In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them lightly until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Stir in the finely chopped chili, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated, creating a flavorful egg mixture.

          Cook the Eggs:

            In a non-stick skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, pour in the egg mixture. Gently cook the eggs, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until they are just set but still creamy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat to ensure they remain soft and tender.

              Assemble the Melts:

                Retrieve the toasted bread from the baking sheet. Evenly spoon the creamy egg mixture over each slice of toast, making sure to distribute it well. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously on top of the warm eggs.

                  Melt the Cheese:

                    Place the assembled toast back into the oven. Bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden.

                      Garnish and Serve:

                        Remove the toast melts from the oven. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro or parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Serve immediately, reveling in the delightful combination of heat from the chili, rich creamy eggs, and gooey cheese!
