Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices sandwich bread
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 to 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 slice American cheese (optional)

Method
 

  1. Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat with half the butter. Toast bread on both sides until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Add remaining butter to the pan, crack in the egg, season, and cook 2 ½ to 3 minutes until white is set but yolk is still jiggly. Cover for a firmer yolk.
  3. Spread mayo on toast, add cheese if using, slide egg on top, close sandwich, and press gently. Serve immediately.

Notes

Nutrition values include one slice of American cheese and 1 ½ tablespoons mayo. For a lighter sandwich, omit the cheese or use less mayo. The whole thing takes about six minutes once you start, so have your bread and spreads ready.
