Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil.
Crack the eggs into the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until the whites are set and edges turn crispy. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes for a slightly runny yolk or longer if a firm yolk is preferred. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Remove and set aside.
Butter one side of each bread slice. Place them butter-side down in the same skillet and toast on medium heat until golden brown, about 2 minutes for each side. Remove from the skillet.
Spread mayonnaise evenly on the unbuttered side of one toasted bread slice.
Layer the lettuce leaf, tomato slices, cooked eggs, and cheese slice on top of the bread with mayonnaise.
Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side facing outward.
Optional: Press the sandwich lightly and return it to the hot skillet to melt the cheese slightly, cooking for 1-2 minutes on each side.
Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately.
