Ingredients
- 1 English muffin
- 1 egg
- 1 slice American cheese
Instructions
- Microwave the egg: Crack the egg into a microwave-safe bowl. Whisk it gently to blend the yolk and white. Cook the egg in the microwave for 1 minute, ensuring it is fully cooked through.
- Prepare the muffin: Cut the English muffin in half. Place the microwaved egg on the bottom half of the muffin.
- Add the cheese: Tear the slice of American cheese in half and arrange the pieces criss-crossed on top of the egg.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place the top half of the English muffin over the cheese and egg to form the sandwich.
- Toast the sandwich: Preheat a toaster oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the sandwich on the toaster oven pan and toast for 5-7 minutes until the top is slightly browned and the cheese has melted.
- Serve: Remove the sandwich from the toaster oven, allow it to cool slightly, then enjoy your warm and cheesy breakfast sandwich.
Notes
- This sandwich is ready quickly, making it a perfect make-ahead or last-minute breakfast option.
- Microwaving the egg saves time and simplifies preparation.
- You can substitute American cheese with other cheese types like cheddar or Swiss for different flavors.
- To speed up the toasting process, you may toast the English muffin halves first before assembling with egg and cheese, then melt cheese briefly under the broiler if desired.
- Adding a slice of cooked bacon, ham, or fresh vegetables like spinach can enhance flavor and nutrition.
