Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 English muffin
  • 1 egg
  • 1 slice American cheese


Instructions

  1. Microwave the Egg: Crack the egg into a microwave-safe bowl, whisk it until blended, then microwave for 1 minute until cooked through.
  2. Prepare the English Muffin: Cut the English muffin in half to create a top and bottom piece for the sandwich.
  3. Assemble the Sandwich: Place the cooked egg on the bottom half of the English muffin. Tear the slice of American cheese in half and layer it criss-cross style on top of the egg. Cover with the top half of the muffin.
  4. Toast the Sandwich: Preheat the toaster oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the assembled sandwich on the toaster oven pan and toast for 5-7 minutes until the top is lightly browned and the cheese has melted.
  5. Serve: Remove the sandwich from the toaster oven, let it cool slightly, then enjoy your warm and cheesy breakfast treat.

Notes

  • This sandwich is ready in just about 7 minutes, making it perfect for busy mornings.
  • Microwaving the egg is a speedy alternative to stovetop cooking.
  • Criss-crossing the cheese helps it melt evenly over the egg.
  • A toaster oven gives a nicely toasted muffin and melted cheese without using a pan or stove.
  • You can add extra ingredients like bacon, sausage, or veggies to customize the sandwich.
