Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 English muffin or brioche bun or 2 slices sourdough
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 slice cheddar or American cheese
  • 1 teaspoon butter plus a little for the bread
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Butter and toast the bread. Set aside.
  2. Whisk the eggs with the milk and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Melt the butter in a nonstick pan over medium-low heat. Add the eggs and let them set about 30 seconds.
  4. Lift the edges so uncooked egg runs underneath. When nearly set but still glossy, fold the sides in to make a square the size of your bread.
  5. Top with the cheese, cover the pan 30 seconds to melt, then slide onto the bread and close the sandwich.

Notes

Optional add-ins: cooked bacon or sausage, sliced tomato, spinach or avocado.
