Fried Egg Sandwich

Blame this one on the new Doctor Who.  It was mentioned in the first episode of the most recent season, so I looked it up.

Really, a fried-egg sandwich is anything you want to put between two pieces of bread, plus an egg.  I chose to make a grilled cheese on wheat.  You could add ham to make it like the Denny's breakfast sandwich, or bacon, or salsa, or whatever.  It could be avocado toast with egg.  This is completely flexible.

2 slices bread of choice
1 oz cheddar cheese (or whatever other fillings you like)
1 egg
butter or margarine

1.  Butter the outsides of the bread slices and place butter-side down in a skillet over medium heat.  Add cheese slices.  When they start to melt, make the egg.

2.  In a separate pan, melt enough butter to coat the bottom over medium-low heat.  I love my little single-egg skillet.  Crack the egg in the pan, then break the yolk.  This will help it to cook more evenly in the pan.  You want a little oozing in the sandwich, but not all over the place.

3.  When the egg starts to set, flip it and cook another minute.  By now, the cheese should be mostly soft and you can transfer the egg to one of the bread slices.  Close the sandwich and continue to cook until the bread is as toasted as you like.

4.  Cut in half if desired and serve hot.
