Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 slices of bread (your choice)
  • 4 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or your preference)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and let it melt.

  3. 3

    Crack the eggs into the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny, or longer if you prefer it cooked through.

  4. 4

    While the eggs are cooking, toast the slices of bread until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, place a slice of cheese on top of each egg and cover the skillet briefly to melt the cheese (about 1 minute).

  6. 6

    Spread the remaining tablespoon of butter on one side of each toasted bread slice.

  7. 7

    Assemble the sandwiches by placing an egg and cheese on one slice of bread, then topping it with the second slice of bread, buttered side out.

  8. 8

    In the same skillet, grill the sandwich for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Serve warm.
