Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Egg
- 2 slices Bread
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 slice Cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
Instructions
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add half of the butter to the pan.
Once the butter is melted and sizzling, crack the egg into the skillet and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Cook the egg for about 2-3 minutes until the white is set and the yolk is cooked to your preferred doneness. Flip the egg gently if you prefer an over-easy or over-hard egg.
Remove the cooked egg from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Spread mayonnaise onto one side of each bread slice.
Add the remaining butter to the skillet and place the slices of bread in, mayonnaise-side up. Toast for about 1 minute until the bottoms are golden and crisp.
Place the slice of cheddar cheese on one slice of bread while still in the skillet so it begins to melt slightly.
Remove the bread slices from the skillet. Place the fried egg on top of the bread with the melted cheese and cover with the second slice, mayonnaise-side facing in.
Cut the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately.
