This easy egg sandwich delivers a satisfying breakfast in 5 minutes with minimal cooking. Use whatever bread and cheese you have on hand. Avoid crowding the pan, so make 1-2 sandwiches at a time if necessary.
Heat the pan over medium-high heat. Melt half the butter in the pan.
Once the butter has melted, crack the eggs into the hot pan. Discard the eggshells.
Fry the eggs until the egg whites have turned opaque white and are no longer translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip each egg over.
Allow the eggs to cook for about 1 minute until the egg whites on the undersides are set. I like my egg yolks runny so we remove the eggs before the yolks are hard.
Move the eggs to a plate.
Add the remaining butter to the pan.
Add the bread to the pan.
Fry the bread on each side until golden brown.
Add the cheese to allow it to melt on the hot bread. Remove from the bread from the pan when the bread reaches your preferred level of toasted brown.
Add 2 eggs to each slice of bread. Close the sandwich with the remaining bread if you fried 4 slices of bread.
