Why You'll Love This Halloween Recipe
Halloween morning deserves better than cereal. Ghost Toast takes the same ingredients as a regular egg-and-toast breakfast and, with one ghost cookie cutter, turns it into something kids will remember. It's fast, uses pantry staples, and the protein keeps little trick-or-treaters fueled for the big night.
Ingredients for Ghost Toast
- 4 slices of bread
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices of white cheese (mozzarella or provolone)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 ghost-shaped cookie cutter
- Mini chocolate chips or olive bits, for the eyes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
How to Make Ghost Toast Step by Step
- Cut the cheese ghosts. Use the ghost cookie cutter to cut a ghost shape from each cheese slice. Set aside.
- Toast the bread. Butter the bread and toast until golden in a skillet or toaster.
- Fry the ghost eggs. Grease the inside of the ghost cutter with butter, place it in a heated nonstick skillet, and crack an egg inside. Cook on low until the white sets, then lift the cutter away.
- Assemble. Top each toast slice with a ghost egg, then a cheese ghost (the residual heat softens it).
- Add faces. Press two mini chocolate chips or olive bits into each ghost for eyes. Season and serve immediately.
💡 Tips for the Best Results
Grease the cookie cutter well or the egg will stick — a quick spray of cooking oil works too. Low heat gives you neat, fully-set whites without rubbery edges. No ghost cutter? A round cutter plus a wavy bottom edge cut with a knife makes a fine ghost.

📌 Pin it for laterFrequently Asked Questions
Can I make Ghost Toast dairy-free?
Yes — skip the cheese ghost and just do the ghost-shaped egg on buttered (or dairy-free-buttered) toast. Still adorable.
How do I keep the egg from leaking under the cutter?
Make sure the cutter sits flat in the skillet and the pan isn't too hot. Press down lightly for the first 30 seconds so the white seals the edge.
Can I make these for a crowd?
Use a sheet pan: crack eggs into greased ghost cutters on a parchment-lined sheet pan and bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes. Toast the bread separately.
