A crisp-edged cheesy egg turns an ordinary slice of toast into a satisfying breakfast. Cottage cheese adds a cool, creamy layer underneath, while chili flakes bring just enough warmth. This is a small skillet recipe for two, with everyday ingredients and an easy path from stove to plate. Have the toast ready before the eggs finish so you can serve everything hot.
