How to make Scrambled Eggs on Toast

Tips from the cook

  • Keep the heat low and stir slowly, so the eggs form small, creamy curds.
  • Take the pan off the heat while the eggs still look slightly wet, as they set on the plate.
  • Salt the eggs at the end, as early salt can make them watery.
  • Fry the bread first, so the olive oil crisps it and keeps the toast from going soggy.
