Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Bread and dairy
  • 2 slices slices of bread (your choice: white, whole grain, or sourdough)
  • 2 slices slices of cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or any cheese you love)
  • 1 large large egg
For frying
  • Butter for frying
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all your ingredients and tools—a frying pan, spatula, and a plate to hold your finished sandwich.
  2. In a small bowl, crack the egg and whisk it until it’s well beaten. Add a pinch of salt and pepper for flavor.
Cooking
  1. In a frying pan over medium heat, add a bit of butter to melt. Once the butter is bubbling, place one slice of bread in the pan.
  2. Immediately after placing the bread, lay one slice of cheese on top, pour the beaten egg over it, and then add another slice of cheese to cover.
  3. Top with the second slice of bread. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
  4. Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula, adding a little more butter if necessary. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese is melted.
  5. Remove it from the pan, let it cool for a minute, and then slice it in half.
  6. Enjoy your masterpiece while it’s warm!

Notes

Try using whole-grain or gluten-free bread to make this dish healthier. Keep an eye on the heat to avoid burning the bread before the cheese melts.
