Directions

1. Heat a non-stick skillet on medium.

2. Cook bacon, sausage, ham, or other meat according to directions, if desired. Clean the skillet before using for bread and eggs.

3. Butter both slices of bread on one side, or if using bagel or roll, toast in a toaster or toaster oven if you want toasted.

4. Place bread butter side down in pan. Place a slice of cheese on one side of toast and toast until bread lightly golden brown and cheese is slightly melted.

5. Remove and set on a serving plate.

6. Add 1 Tablespoon of butter or olive oil to the skillet and reduce heat too medium-low.
7. When butter is melted or oil is hot, crack the egg on the counter, then hold over the skillet and spread two sides of the shell to let the egg yolk and white fall into the pan. Do this for two eggs if you are hungry.

8. Heat the egg until the white becomes solid white and the clear white around the yolk is no longer clear. If you want your egg more done, you can also flip your egg and heat slightly on the other side for “over easy.” If you prefer not to have a runny yolk, you can cook for a little longer to make it “over medium.” Be sure to keep an eye on the yolk, which you will see change from a darker yellow to lighter yellow through the cooked egg white. The lighter the color, the more cooked the yolk is.

9. Use the spatula to place the egg on the slice of bread without the cheese.
10. Add tomato, lettuce, vegetables, avocado, mustard, or whatever you like on top of the egg.
11. Turn over the slice of bread with the cheese and gently top the sandwich, taking care not to break the yolk (it’s more fun to do this when you bite in!)
12. Serve with your choice of sides, such as French fries, green salad, fruit salad, potato or tortilla chips.
