Description
A comforting grilled cheese sandwich paired with a perfectly fried egg, making it great for breakfast, brunch, or quick dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices of bread (sourdough, whole grain, or your favorite)
- 1–2 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or provolone)
- 1 large egg
- 1–2 tablespoons of butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: avocado, hot sauce, or herbs
Instructions
- Prepare your skillet: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt one tablespoon of butter.
- Fry the egg: Crack the egg into the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the whites are set, and the yolk is at your preferred doneness.
- Toast the bread: In another skillet (or the same one, if thereโs room!), melt the remaining butter and add the bread slices. Layer cheese on one side. Grill until golden brown, then flip to melt the cheese fully.
- Assemble: Remove the cheese toast from the skillet, add the fried egg on top, and place the second slice of cheese toast on top to complete the sandwich.
- Slice and serve: Cut in half, admire the melty goodness, and dig in!
Notes
Experiment with different cheese and bread types for unique flavors. This dish can be elevated with toppings like crispy bacon or sautรฉed vegetables.
