Ingredients
To make a breakfast egg sandwich, you’ll need the following ingredients:
– 2 large eggs
– 2 slices of whole-grain bread
– 1 tablespoon of butter or cooking spray
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 slices of your favorite cheese (e.g., cheddar, Swiss, or provolone)
– 2 slices of ham or turkey (optional)
– 2 slices of tomato (optional)
– 2 slices of avocado (optional)
Instructions
1. Begin by heating a non-stick skillet over medium heat. If you prefer, you can also use a griddle or a frying pan.
2. While the skillet is heating, crack the eggs into a bowl and beat them slightly with a fork. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Once the skillet is hot, add a tablespoon of butter or cooking spray. If you’re using butter, let it melt and coat the skillet evenly.
4. Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Let them sit for a few seconds until they start to set around the edges.
5. Using a spatula, gently lift the edges of the eggs and tilt the skillet to let the uncooked egg flow to the edges. Repeat this process until the eggs are cooked to your desired consistency. For a runny yolk, cook for about 3-4 minutes; for a firmer yolk, cook for 5-6 minutes.
6. While the eggs are cooking, toast your bread slices to your liking. You can use a toaster, toaster oven, or a pan on the stove.
7. Once the eggs are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place them on a plate. Let them cool for a minute or two.
8. Spread a thin layer of butter or cooking spray on the toasted bread slices.
9. Place the cooked eggs on one slice of bread, followed by the cheese slices, ham or turkey slices, tomato slices, and avocado slices (if desired).
10. Top with the second slice of bread and press down gently to seal the sandwich.
11. Cut the sandwich in half diagonally or horizontally, and serve immediately.
Enjoy your homemade breakfast egg sandwich with a side of your favorite beverage, such as coffee, juice, or tea. This satisfying meal will keep you energized and ready to tackle the day ahead!
