You can make this regular or in a lower-calorie version if you use egg whites (or Egg Beaters- low-calorie egg substitute), low-calorie or low-carb bread, and low-fat/calorie cheese). The one pictured has low-calorie eggs with regular bread.
Breakfast Toastie
Ingredients:
- eggs
- bread, buttered on one side if desired
- toppings
Directions:
- Pour enough Egg Beaters/egg whites/scrambled eggs into the pan as desired. I do just enough Egg Beaters to thinly cover the bottom of a small frying pan.
- Place two pieces of bread touching each other on top of the eggs. If buttered, make sure the buttered-side is facing up in the pan.
- Cook until eggs are practically done and starting to brown on the surface touching the pan. Get under the eggs and bread with your spatula and flip everything over all at once. If it's been cooked long enough, with practice, the entire thing should still hold together.
- If possible, fold the "egg flaps" up onto the bread.
- Top with your fillings of choice. Could be cheese, meat, veggies, hot sauce, etc. Just whatever you want in the middle of your sandwich.
- Once your bread is toasted, close your sandwich and serve, optionally cutting in half for ease of eating.
- Hint: The lower and slower you cook your breaded side, the more time you have for your toppings to heat through just a bit and the cheese to melt. Your toppings won't really get hot or cook with this method, so top your sandwich accordingly. You can also cover the pan with a lid to help melt cheese and heat-up toppings.

| About this much egg. |
 |
| Bread touching... can be end-to-end like this, or side-to-side. Just as long as you can fold it up in the end into a sandwich. |
 |
| Flip! |
 |
| Add toppings. I used ham, cheese and bacon. |
 |
| Done! This bread was NOT buttered. |
