Instructions
- 1
Toast the bread slices to your desired crispness. You can use a toaster or a pan.
- 2
While the bread is toasting, heat the butter or olive oil in a small non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- 3
Once the butter is melted and shimmering (or oil is hot), crack the egg into the skillet. Season with salt and pepper.
- 4
Cook the egg for 2-3 minutes for a runny yolk, or longer for a firmer yolk. If desired, flip the egg gently and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- 5
Immediately after flipping (or if you prefer not to flip, in the last minute of cooking), place the cheese slice on top of the egg to allow it to melt slightly.
- 6
Once the egg is cooked and the cheese is melted, carefully transfer the egg and cheese onto one slice of the toasted bread. Top with the second slice of bread to complete the sandwich. Serve immediately.
