- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Cooking oil
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of cooking oil.
Crack one egg into the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the white is set and the yolk is cooked to desired doneness. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Remove the egg and set it aside on a plate. Repeat with the second egg.
Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice.
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in the same skillet over medium heat.
Layer with one fried egg, the cheese slice, then the second fried egg. Top with the other slice of bread, buttered side up.
Cook the sandwich for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet and let it cool slightly before cutting it in half for serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
