Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 100 ml (1/2 cup) milk
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 sausages, finely chopped or shredded
  • 150 g (1 1/2 cups) cheese, grated (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
  • Salt and paprika, to taste
  • 6-8 bread slices (any type of bread will work)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, salt, and paprika until fully combined. This egg mixture serves as the base for holding the ingredients together and gives the toast a nice, creamy texture.

Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, and fresh dill to the egg mixture. Stir well to distribute the flavors evenly throughout the mixture. The garlic and dill will add a fragrant, savory touch to complement the cheese and sausage.

2. Add the Sausage and Cheese

Now, stir in the finely chopped sausages and grated cheese into the egg mixture. The sausages can be breakfast-style, Italian, or any other type you prefer. Shredded sausage will melt into the mixture, while finely chopped pieces provide a heartier bite. The cheese, whether you choose cheddar for its sharpness or mozzarella for its gooey melt, will bind everything together once baked.

Mix until everything is well combined and the sausages and cheese are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

3. Prepare the Bread

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Take your bread slices and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You can use any type of bread you prefer—whole wheat, white, sourdough, or even gluten-free options will work just fine.

Spread the prepared egg, sausage, and cheese mixture evenly over each slice of bread. Be generous, making sure to cover the entire surface of the bread with a thick layer of the filling.

4. Bake the Toast

Place the baking sheet with the prepared slices into the preheated oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown, and the bread edges are crisp. Baking times may vary slightly depending on the thickness of your bread and the type of cheese used, so keep an eye on it after the 10-minute mark.

The result should be crispy, golden brown toast with a bubbly, cheesy topping.

5. Serve

Remove the toasts from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These Cheesy Sausage Toasts are best served warm and can be enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or even a quick meal.

Tips for Success:

  • Stovetop Option: If you prefer, you can also cook these on a stovetop in a skillet. Just place the bread slices, topping side up, in a preheated skillet over medium heat, cover with a lid, and cook until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown and crispy on the bottom.
  • Customization: Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your taste. Add extra garlic or dill for a more intense flavor, or sprinkle some chili flakes for a spicy kick. You can also experiment with different herbs like parsley or oregano.
  • Extra Crunch: For a bit more texture, consider adding some extra chopped vegetables, such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach, to the egg mixture before baking.
