Ingredients

4 large eggs

2 tablespoons milk

Salt and black pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped

1 green chili (jalapeño or serrano), finely minced

1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

4 slices of crusty bread (sourdough or whole grain recommended)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 avocado, thinly sliced (for serving)

Hot sauce (optional, for serving)

Instructions

Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together vigorously until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy. Fold in the chopped cilantro and finely minced green chili, ensuring they are well-distributed throughout the egg mixture.

Cook the Eggs: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is hot, pour in the egg mixture. Cook gently, stirring occasionally with a spatula to scramble the eggs, until they are just set but still creamy, about 3-4 minutes. In the final minute of cooking, sprinkle in the shredded cheddar cheese and gently fold it in until melted and blended into the scrambled eggs.

Toast the Bread: While the eggs are cooking, place a separate skillet over medium heat. Add the unsalted butter and allow it to melt completely. Once the butter is sizzling, add the slices of bread to the skillet. Toast each side until they are golden brown and crisp, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.

Assemble the Toasts: Once the bread is perfectly toasted, generously spoon the cheesy green chili egg mixture evenly over each slice.

Melt the Cheese: For an extra layer of indulgence, you can place the assembled toasts under a broiler for 1 minute to further melt the cheese and achieve a delightful crisp on top. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning!

Serve: Carefully transfer the toasts onto plates. Top each with fresh avocado slices and drizzle with your preferred hot sauce for an added kick, if desired. Serve immediately and savor the warmth and flavors of your Spicy Green Chili Egg Toast Melts!
