Ingredients
Sandwich Base
- 1 sandwich roll, English muffin, or sliced bread
Egg and Cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 slice cheese (cheddar, American, or Swiss)
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Additions
- Cooked bacon, ham, or sausage (quantity as desired)
Instructions
- Toast Bread: Toast your sandwich roll, English muffin, or bread slice to your preferred level of crispness. This adds texture and helps prevent sogginess.
- Heat Butter: Place a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter or heat the oil evenly to prepare for cooking the egg.
- Cook Egg: Crack the large egg into the skillet and cook it to your desired doneness, whether that is sunny side up, over easy, or fully cooked. Season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Melt Cheese: Once the egg is nearly cooked, place the slice of cheese on top and allow it to melt slightly, creating a creamy layer.
- Assemble Sandwich: Place the cheesy egg on your toasted bread, add optional cooked bacon, ham, or sausage if desired, and close the sandwich.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your hot and delicious breakfast sandwich right away for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Add fresh slices of avocado or tomato inside the sandwich for a refreshing flavor and extra nutrition.
- Wrap the sandwich in foil if you need a portable meal for eating on the go.
