Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 slices whole-grain bread For toasting
  • 1 large egg Cook to your preference (sunny-side up, scrambled, or over-easy)
  • 2 slices halal cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) Choose your favorite type
  • 1 slice halal turkey or chicken breast Optional protein
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper
  • 1 pat Butter For cooking the egg

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Toast the slices of bread in a toaster or on a skillet until they are golden brown.
  2. In a non-stick skillet, melt a small pat of butter over medium heat. Crack the egg into the skillet and season it with salt and pepper. Cook until the whites are set and the yolk reaches your desired doneness.
  3. Place one slice of cheese on one of the toasted bread slices. Layer the halal turkey or chicken on top, followed by the egg, and finish with the second slice of cheese. Top it off with the other slice of toasted bread.
  4. If desired, put the sandwich back in the skillet for an additional minute to melt the cheese further, pressing it down slightly.
  5. Once everything is nicely melted and heated through, slice the sandwich in half and serve warm.

Notes

For vegetarian options, replace meat with slices of avocado or veggies. Prep all ingredients beforehand to save time during assembly. Avoid over-toasting the bread to maintain desired texture. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in a toaster oven or skillet for best results.
