Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices gluten-free bread
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 slice cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 4 pieces spinach leaves
Instructions
Begin by spreading 1/2 tablespoon of butter over one side of each slice of gluten-free bread.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the buttered side of one slice of bread down in the skillet.
Top the bread with a slice of cheddar cheese. Allow it to melt slightly while preparing the egg.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In another small pan, heat the remaining butter over medium heat. Add the beaten egg and cook for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway, until fully set.
Place the cooked egg on top of the melting cheese.
Layer spinach leaves over the egg, then place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side facing up.
Cook the sandwich for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula, until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
Remove from the skillet and let cool for a minute. Spread mayonnaise on the inside of one slice if desired.
Cut the sandwich in half and serve. Enjoy your delicious gluten-free egg and cheese sandwich!
