Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat butter in a small skillet over medium-high until foaming, about 60 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Crack both eggs into the skillet. Cook without stirring until whites are set, yolks still soft, ~3 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Toast the bread slices until golden and crisp on both sides.

  4. Step 4

    Slide both fried eggs onto one toast slice. Top with cheese, tomato or lettuce if using, and second toast slice.

  5. Step 5

    Slice diagonally in half. Serve immediately while cheese melts into the warm eggs.
