Grated Halloumi Toast with scrambled eggs
If you love quick brunch recipes that feel indulgent but take very little effort, this grated halloumi toast is one you need to try. It is crispy, salty, creamy and lightly sweet all at once. Grated halloumi toast has become one of my go to meals when I want something comforting but still exciting, especially for weekend breakfasts or easy lunches.
Equipment
- large pan
- Small pan
- Grater
Ingredients
- 120 g halloumi grated
- 2 slices sourdough
- 3 large eggs beaten together with salt and pepper
- 1 avocado
- 2 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon chilli oil
- ½ tablespoon butter
- 1-2 teaspoon chopped chives
Instructions
For scrambled eggs
- Heat a frying pan on medium low heat. Melt the butter then add the beaten eggs seasoned with salt and pepper.3 large eggs, ½ tablespoon butter
- After around 30 seconds, begin gently pulling the eggs into the centre of the pan from each side to create soft ribbons. Continue this motion for 2 to 3 minutes until the eggs are mostly set but still glossy.
- Turn the heat off, place a lid on the pan and let the steam gently finish cooking the top while you prepare the grated halloumi toast. If needed, return to low heat for a minute or so once the toast is done.
Making the toast
- Grate the halloumi using a cheese grater then heat a non stick pan on medium high heat.120 g halloumi
- Toast the sourdough to your preferred level of crispness then place the grated halloumi into the pan in two even piles roughly the size of your bread slices. Allow it to melt and sizzle for about 1 minute until it begins to bind together. Press each slice of sourdough directly on top of the melting halloumi.2 slices sourdough
- Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the underside becomes deeply golden and crispy. Carefully flip each piece so the bread is now on the pan and the halloumi crust is on top.
- Top each slice of grated halloumi toast with sliced avocado and soft scrambled eggs and finish with a drizzle of honey, chilli oil and chives.1 avocado, 2 teaspoon honey, 1 teaspoon chilli oil, 1-2 teaspoon chopped chives
Notes
Press the sourdough firmly into the melting halloumi so the cheese sticks properly. This helps create that golden crust that stays attached to the toast when flipped.
