American · Main course · 7 min total

A quick and satisfying breakfast sandwich with a perfectly fried egg and melted cheese on a toasted English muffin.

Ingredients

• 1 English muffin, split
• 1 large egg
• 1 slice cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Toast the English muffin halves until golden brown.
2. In a small non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
3. Crack the egg into the skillet and cook until the white is set but the yolk is still runny, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Place the cheese slice on the bottom half of the toasted muffin.
5. Carefully transfer the fried egg onto the cheese.
6. Top with the other muffin half and serve immediately.

Tips

• For a firmer yolk, cook the egg for an additional minute.
• Add a slice of cooked bacon or ham for extra protein.
• Wrap the sandwich in foil to keep warm if not serving immediately.
