Herbed Egg Toast

🥚 Herbed Egg Toast

This Herbed Egg Toast is the kind of simple, elegant meal that brings together freshness, protein, and creamy comfort in every bite. Inspired by Mediterranean flavours, it’s a delicious gluten-free twist on the classic egg toast — featuring creamy Greek yogurt, fragrant herbs, zesty lemon, and perfectly sliced hard-boiled eggs layered over crisp, toasted gluten-free bread.

What makes this recipe special is its perfect balance of protein, freshness, and richness. The Greek yogurt provides a velvety base that replaces traditional mayonnaise or butter, offering gut-friendly probiotics and a light, tangy flavour. Fresh dill and chives brighten the dish with herbal aroma and a touch of sophistication, while lemon juice and zest add a gentle, sunny acidity that cuts through the creaminess. Every layer works together to create something nourishing, refreshing, and deeply satisfying.

This is a perfect choice for breakfast, brunch, or a quick high-protein lunch — something you can prepare in minutes but that feels gourmet and balanced. It’s filling without being heavy, supports energy and focus, and is ideal for anyone following a gluten-free, Mediterranean, or high-protein lifestyle.

Whether served open-faced on toasted gluten-free sourdough or low-carb bread, sprinkled with extra herbs and a drizzle of olive oil, this dish turns everyday ingredients into something beautiful, fresh, and energizing.

Ingredient Benefits

Eggs

Eggs are one of nature’s most complete sources of protein, containing all nine essential amino acids. They provide choline, vital for brain and nervous system function, as well as vitamins D, B12, and selenium. Their high-quality protein supports muscle repair, satiety, and stable energy — making them an ideal base for a balanced gluten-free meal.

Garlic

Garlic brings depth and warmth to the dish while offering powerful antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties. Rich in allicin, garlic supports immune health and helps improve cardiovascular function by promoting healthy blood flow.

Lemon (Zest & Juice)

Lemon adds brightness and freshness while delivering a dose of vitamin C to support immune health and collagen production. Its natural acidity also enhances digestion and balances the richness of the eggs and yogurt.

Fresh Dill

Dill adds a distinctive Mediterranean flavour while offering antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds. It supports digestion, helps calm bloating, and provides a light herbal lift that refreshes the palate.

Fresh Chives

Chives are rich in vitamins A and K and contain sulfur compounds that support detoxification and immune function. They add a gentle onion-like flavour that complements eggs beautifully while aiding digestion.

Greek Yogurt

Greek yogurt is a probiotic-rich superfood packed with calcium and protein. It supports gut health, aids digestion, and keeps you full for longer. The creamy texture makes it a lighter alternative to mayonnaise or cheese while adding a pleasant tang and creaminess.

Gluten-Free or Low-Carb Bread

Using gluten-free bread keeps this dish safe for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Low-carb versions add extra fibre and protein for stable blood sugar levels. Whole, minimally processed gluten-free breads made from seeds or nuts add texture, nutrients, and satisfying crunch.
