Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
If your bread isn't already buttered, spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice.
Lay the buttered bread slices on a baking sheet.
Spread a thin layer of tomato paste over the unbuttered side of the bread.
Scatter the salami slices/pieces evenly over the tomato paste.
If using, sprinkle the minced garlic and dried herbs over the salami.
Make a small well in the center of the toppings on each slice of bread.
Crack one egg into the well on each slice of bread.
Carefully sprinkle the grated cheese around the egg on each slice.
Season each toast with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the cheese is bubbly and golden. Cooking time may vary depending on how you like your egg yolks.
Carefully remove from the oven and serve immediately.
💡 Pro Tips: 🧀 Get creative with your cheese! Any melty cheese works wonders here. 🍞 If you don't have sliced bread, a halved baguette or even sturdy crackers can work in a pinch! 🔥 Don't overbake the eggs - you want the yolks just set or slightly runny for maximum deliciousness! (Unless you prefer them firm, you're the chef!)
