Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole English muffin
- 1 large Egg
- 1 slice Cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Slice the English muffin in half and toast both halves until golden brown. Set aside.
Heat a small non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Crack the egg into a bowl, add salt and black pepper, and beat lightly with a fork.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared frying pan.
Cook the egg over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, gently stirring with a spatula to form soft curds. Cook until the egg is just set, then turn off the heat.
Place one slice of cheddar cheese on top of the cooked egg, letting it melt slightly from the residual heat.
Butter the toasted English muffin halves.
Assemble the sandwich by placing the egg and cheese on the bottom half of the English muffin, then top with the other half.
