Ingredients
  

4 slices of thick-cut sourdough bread

4 large eggs

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

2-3 green chilies, diced (choose mild or hot based on your spice preference)

1/2 cup diced bell pepper (optional, for an extra touch of sweetness)

2 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro or green onion, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to the broil setting. This will ensure that your toast becomes delightfully crisp while also perfectly melting the cheese.

    Prepare the Toast: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt completely. Once melted, add the slices of sourdough bread to the skillet. Toast each side until they achieve a beautiful golden brown color, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. Once done, carefully remove the toast from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

      Cook the Eggs: In the same skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter. Crack the eggs directly into the skillet and season them with garlic powder, a pinch of salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Sprinkle the diced green chilies and optional diced bell peppers around the eggs. Cook the eggs sunny-side up, or to your preferred level of doneness—about 4-5 minutes for sunny-side up is usually ideal.

        Assemble the Toast: Take each slice of your toasted sourdough and gently place a cooked egg on top of each one. Be generous in topping the eggs with shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it's well-covered.

          Melt the Cheese: Carefully transfer the cheese-topped toast back onto a baking sheet. Place the baking sheet under the broiler for approximately 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is beautifully bubbly and golden. Watch it closely to avoid burning.

            Garnish and Serve: Once melted, remove the toast from the oven and garnish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro or green onions to finish. Serve warm and indulge in the delightful flavors of your Green Chili Egg Toast Melts!
