Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 slice cheddar cheese, sliced
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Start by gathering all ingredients and kitchen tools: a nonstick skillet, a spatula, and a bread toaster.
Place the skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt completely.
Crack the eggs gently into the skillet. Sprinkle each egg with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until the whites are set, about 3-4 minutes. If you prefer the yolk slightly firmer, you can flip the eggs after they have set and cook for an additional 1 minute.
While the eggs are cooking, toast the bread slices in a toaster until golden brown and crispy.
Spread mayonnaise evenly on one side of each toasted bread slice.
Place the slice of cheddar cheese on one of the mayonnaise-spread slices of toast.
Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, carefully transfer them from the skillet onto the cheese-topped slice of toasted bread. Allow the heat from the eggs to slightly melt the cheese.
If desired, drizzle hot sauce over the eggs for extra flavor.
Top the eggs with the second slice of toasted bread, mayonnaise side down.
Using a serrated knife, cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately.
