The Grated Hard Boiled Egg on Toast
For my first simple summer toast I am sharing this easy recipe for a grated egg on toast. My first encounter with this recipe came from Healthyish Foods. I loved this twist on serving a hard boiled egg on toast.

Pro Tips for Grated Hard Boiled Egg Toast
Before we get into the process for making this hard boiled egg toast, here are some helpful tips to keep in mind.
- Use pre-made hard boiled eggs. Make a batch of hard boiled eggs, peel them, and pop them in the fridge to use later in the week.
- Fresh made hard boiled eggs are too soft. If you’re in a pinch, you can make a hard boiled egg and pop it in the fridge for about a half hour before you grate it over the toast but I highly recommend making them in advance for an easier to grate egg.
- Any grater will do. You do not have to go out and buy a fancy grater for this recipe. The big cheese grater works just as well as the microplane but the texture of the egg will vary based on the grater you use.
