Tips, food safety & substitutions
Put the cheese on the hot toast so it melts under the egg. Food safety: fry the eggs until the whites are fully set. Allergens: contains egg, wheat (gluten) and milk (cheese, butter). Substitute: use paneer slices instead of cheddar, or wholemeal bread for extra fibre.
