Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Eggs
- 2 slices Bread (your choice, such as sourdough or whole grain)
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 teaspoons Mayonnaise
- 1 slice Cheese (optional, such as cheddar or Swiss)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
- 1 leaf Lettuce (optional)
- 2 slices Tomato (optional, thinly sliced)
Instructions
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Crack both eggs into the hot skillet, being careful not to break the yolks. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes, until the whites are set and the edges are slightly crispy. If you prefer your yolks firmer, gently flip the eggs and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
While the eggs cook, toast the bread slices until golden brown.
Spread butter evenly over one side of each slice of toast. On one slice, spread the mayonnaise on top of the butter.
If using cheese, place the slice of cheese on top of one egg in the skillet during the last 30 seconds of cooking to allow it to melt slightly.
Assemble the sandwich by placing the eggs onto the slice of bread with mayonnaise. Add lettuce and tomato if desired.
Top with the other slice of toasted bread, buttered side facing inward. Gently press down to secure the sandwich.
Slice in half if preferred, and serve immediately while warm.
