Ingredients
  

4 slices of thick-cut sourdough bread

4 large eggs

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

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

1/2 cup diced bell pepper (optional, for added sweetness)

2 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro or green onion, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to broil. This will give your toast a nice crisp and melt the cheese perfectly.

    Prepare the Toast: In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, add the slices of sourdough bread and toast until golden brown on both sides. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

      Cook the Eggs: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter. Crack the eggs into the skillet and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle in the diced green chilies and bell peppers, if using. Cook the eggs sunny-side up or to your desired doneness (about 4-5 minutes for sunny-side up is recommended).

        Assemble the Toast: On each slice of toasted sourdough, place a cooked egg carefully. Top generously with shredded cheddar cheese.

          Melt the Cheese: Place the assembled toast back on a baking sheet and broil in the oven for about 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Keep a close eye to prevent burning!

            Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions for a fresh touch. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Green Chili Egg Toast Melts!
