Preparation
Step 1
Use large, selected eggs. For a tasty and visually appealing dish, use farm eggs with bright yellow yolks. Always use fresh eggs. Vegetable oil can be replaced with butter. Bread can be wheat or rye; I used wheat toast bread.
Step 2
Remove mozzarella from brine, shake off excess moisture, and grate coarsely. You can substitute with any other cheese, such as feta, brined cheese, soft cream cheese, or processed cheese.
Step 3
Grease a small square or rectangular baking dish with vegetable oil. Place bread at the bottom, trimming edges if necessary to fit completely. I used a 20 × 15 cm dish.
Step 4
Sprinkle half of the grated cheese over the bread.
Step 5
Carefully crack 4 eggs on top of the cheese, keeping yolks intact.
Step 6
Season eggs with salt and pepper. Optionally, add your preferred spices.
Step 7
Sprinkle remaining grated cheese on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 15-20 minutes. Cooking time depends on your oven. Cheese should melt, and eggs should cook through.
Step 8
Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs. Enjoy!
