How to Make Bacon And Cheese Toast

  1. Crack one large egg into a bowl and beat lightly with a fork.
  2. Add 1/4 cup of milk, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese!) to the beaten egg. Mix well until the cheese is incorporated.
  3. Spread the egg mixture evenly over 2 slices of bread.
  4. Top each slice of bread with 1-2 slices of bacon.
  5. Place the bread slices under a preheated broiler (about 4-6 inches from the heat source). Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
