I couldn't decide between french toast or cheesy eggs this morning, and this was the love-child of these two wants.
So, what you're going to need:
- two slices of light rye or white bread
- one egg
- 1/2 tbsp butter
- enough slices of cheddar cheese to cover one piece of bread. (you'll see from the pictures that I used extremely aged white cheddar. I would have liked it more with the normal orange cheddar.)
- Ketchup or maple syrup for dipping, whichever you prefer (or nothing!)
How to make this deliciousness:
1. Beat your egg in a shallow bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper if you want (I wouldn't recommend salt and pepper if you're going to dip it in maple syrup)
2. Put your butter into a frying pan. Turn it to medium and let it melt while you...
3. slice your cheese.
4. After letting your butter and pan heat up a little, dip only ONE side of one of your pieces of bread in the egg, letting it soak up some of the egg, then immediately put it egg side down in the pan. Do this with the other slice of bread (remember, only one side! we don't want salmonella!)
5. Layer the cheese to fit on the bread.
6. After letting the bread cook for about a minute check the piece without the cheese on it. If it's cooked, flip it egg-side-up on top of the cheese. If not, let it cook some more and THEN flip it on top of the cheese.
7. Right before the cheese is fully melted flip the sandwich over to the other side. Let the cheese completely melt.
8. Transfer to a plate and grab a little side dish of your ketchup/syrup/nothing and enjoy! :)
