Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 slices Bread (sourdough, brioche, or your choice)
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 slice Cheddar cheese (or your favorite melty cheese)
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Chives (optional, finely chopped)
Instructions
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Crack the eggs into a small bowl, whisk lightly with a fork, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Pour the eggs into the skillet and let cook for about 1-2 minutes. Using a spatula, gently push the edges of the eggs toward the center, allowing uncooked egg to flow to the edges.
Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny on top, fold the edges inward to form a rectangular or circular shape, depending on the size of your bread.
Place the slice of cheese on top of the eggs and cover the skillet with a lid for about 1 minute, or until the cheese has melted.
Lightly toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown.
Spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toasted bread. If desired, drizzle or spread hot sauce over the mayonnaise for a spice kick.
Carefully transfer the cheesy eggs onto one slice of bread. Sprinkle with chopped chives if using.
Top with the second slice of bread, mayonnaise-side down, to form a sandwich.
Slice in half if desired, serve warm, and enjoy your comforting egg sandwich!
