This is a very nice recipe for when you don't want to think about what you're cooking and you get bored with simple fried or scrambled eggs.
Here is what you do:
Heat a little olive oil in a frying pan - if you have one that is deep, that's easier.
Add bread in bite-size pieces - I usually use few slices of bread that's at least a day old. also generally I wouldn't use already sliced white bread or any bread that's too soft, because the frying will soften it even more anyway
Break few eggs over it- I generally use 2-3. This isn't exact recipe so I can't help with that
Add 100-200gr grated yellow cheese- gauda or emental will do just fine. i was never a cheddar cheese fan, but I suppose if you like it you can try that too. As I said any yellow cheese that melts under heat
Mix things a little then leave for a bit, then mix again- basically you're looking for the same effect as with scrambled eggs- you want things to mix up and for the eggs to harden, but you don't want to stir the whole time
Other than that, you can add whatever you think may be good by taste.
I usually add some pieces of some salami I have at hand (ham or bacon could do as well) - if I add those, I put them first before anything, so they can be a little more crispy, and also they have their own fat when they start frying, so no need for olive oil
I also like to add olives when I have them
For seasoning, while mixing the frying mixture, I gradually (sometimes) add a little soy sauce, a little tomato sauce (NOT ketchup), some soup seasoning, pepper and oregano...I have found the combination of a little of all those things to give great taste in my opinion.
Anyway, as you can see that's a simple lunch alternative, basically all you need is bread, eggs, cheese and whatever else you find in your fridge and feel like adding...yet it tastes different than just eating those things separately
