Ingredients
  

4 large eggs

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1 cup canned chili (or homemade chili)

4 slices of thick-cut bread (sourdough or whole grain)

2 tablespoons butter, softened

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1-2 green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)

Optional: hot sauce, for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Toast: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the softened butter on one side of each slice of bread. Place the buttered side down on a baking sheet.

    Toast the Bread: Put the bread in the oven and toast for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

      Cook the Eggs: In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until fully combined. In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, scramble the eggs until just set, about 3-4 minutes.

        Assemble the Melts: Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven and layer each slice with an equal amount of canned chili. Top the chili with the scrambled eggs and then sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese over each.

          Melt the Cheese: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped green onions, and drizzle with hot sauce if desired. Serve immediately for best flavor.
