Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bread slices
- 2 large Eggs
- 4 slices Cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Crack the eggs into the skillet and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Let the eggs cook until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully transfer the sunny side up eggs to a plate and set aside.
Butter one side of each bread slice using 1 tablespoon of butter per 2 slices. Place them butter-side down on a clean surface.
Layer one slice of cheddar cheese on two of the bread slices (the unbuttered side), and then gently place a cooked sunny side up egg on top of each cheese slice. Top the eggs with another slice of cheddar cheese.
Cover the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices, butter-side facing outwards.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese has melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool slightly, and then slice in half. Serve warm for a gooey, flavorful bite!
