Ingredients

1 English muffin, split
1 large egg
1 slice American cheese
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

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

Tips

For a firmer yolk, cook the egg for an additional minute.
Add cooked bacon or sausage for extra protein.
Wrap in foil to keep warm if making ahead.
