Ingredients

• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 slices whole grain bread
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 slice cheddar cheese, sliced
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Start by gathering all ingredients and kitchen tools: a nonstick skillet, a spatula, and a bread toaster.

Step 2

Place the skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt completely.

Step 3

Crack the eggs gently into the skillet. Sprinkle each egg with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until the whites are set, about 3-4 minutes. If you prefer the yolk slightly firmer, you can flip the eggs after they have set and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 4

While the eggs are cooking, toast the bread slices in a toaster until golden brown and crispy.

Step 5

Spread mayonnaise evenly on one side of each toasted bread slice.

Step 6

Place the slice of cheddar cheese on one of the mayonnaise-spread slices of toast.

Step 7

Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, carefully transfer them from the skillet onto the cheese-topped slice of toasted bread. Allow the heat from the eggs to slightly melt the cheese.

Step 8

If desired, drizzle hot sauce over the eggs for extra flavor.

Step 9

Top the eggs with the second slice of toasted bread, mayonnaise side down.

Step 10

Using a serrated knife, cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately.
