Savory breakfast sandwich with egg and cheese Recipe

American · Main course · 10 min total

A quick and satisfying breakfast sandwich with a perfectly fried egg, melted cheese, and your choice of bread and add-ons.

Ingredients

• 1 large egg
• 1 slice American cheese (or cheddar)
• 1 English muffin, split and toasted (or 2 slices bread)
• 1 tablespoon butter, divided
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: 1 slice cooked bacon or ham, or sautéed mushrooms

Instructions

1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon butter.
2. 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.
3. Place the cheese slice on the egg and cover the skillet with a lid for 30 seconds to melt the cheese.
4. While the egg cooks, toast the English muffin halves in a toaster or under a broiler until golden.
5. Spread the remaining butter on the toasted muffin halves.
6. Assemble the sandwich: place the egg with cheese on the bottom half, add any optional ingredients, and top with the other half. Serve immediately.

Tips

• For a firmer yolk, cook the egg longer until the yolk is fully set.
• Add a dash of hot sauce or ketchup for extra flavor.
• To make it a breakfast wrap, use a tortilla instead of bread.
• Store leftover sandwich in the fridge for up to 1 day; reheat in a skillet or microwave.
