Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 slices Low sodium multigrain bread
- 2 slices Low sodium cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 pinch Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt completely to coat the pan.
Crack the eggs into a small bowl and beat them lightly. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet.
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula as they cook, pushing them from the edges into the center, until they are softly set and slightly runny in places.
Season the eggs with a pinch of freshly ground black pepper.
While the eggs are cooking, start toasting the multigrain bread slices in a toaster or on another skillet until golden brown.
Once the eggs are cooked to your preference, remove them from the heat.
Place a slice of low sodium cheddar cheese on one of the toasted bread slices. Add the cooked eggs on top of the cheese.
Top the eggs with the second slice of cheddar cheese and close the sandwich with the remaining toasted bread slice.
Optional: Garnish with freshly cut chives for a subtle flavor and added color.
Cut the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious and low sodium breakfast treat!
