Ingredients:
- 2 slices of wholesome bread
- 1 large egg
- 2 slices of cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
- 1 tbsp butter or margarine
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Add-ins:
- A sprinkle of chopped chives or parsley
- A dash of hot sauce or Dijon mustard for extra flavor
Instructions:
- Prepare the Egg:
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a small dab of butter or oil.
- Crack the egg into the pan and cook until the white is set but the yolk is still slightly runny (for a fried egg) or flip for an over-easy style.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Assemble the Toastie:
- Butter one side of each slice of bread.
- Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on a clean surface or pan.
- Layer one slice of cheese, followed by the cooked egg, then the second slice of cheese.
- Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
- Toast the Sandwich:
- Heat a skillet or sandwich press over medium heat.
- Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing down lightly with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve:
- Slice in half and serve hot. Enjoy it as a hearty breakfast or a quick snack!
This toastie is creamy, cheesy, and packed with protein for a satisfying treat. 🧀🍳
