Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 English muffin
  • 1 egg
  • 1 slice American cheese


Instructions

  1. Cook the Egg: Crack the egg into a microwave-safe bowl, then whisk it lightly. Cook the egg in the microwave for 1 minute until fully set.
  2. Prepare the Muffin: Split the English muffin in half. Remove the cooked egg from the microwave and place it on the bottom half of the muffin.
  3. Add Cheese: Tear the slice of American cheese into two halves and place them criss-crossed over the egg.
  4. Assemble the Sandwich: Place the top half of the English muffin over the cheese and egg to complete the sandwich.
  5. Toast the Sandwich: Preheat your toaster oven to 350°F. Place the sandwich on the toaster oven pan and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the top is slightly browned and the cheese has melted.
  6. Serve: Remove the sandwich from the toaster oven, allow it to cool slightly, and enjoy your warm breakfast sandwich!

Notes

  • This easy-to-make breakfast sandwich is ready in just about 7 minutes.
  • Microwaving the egg saves time and makes the process quick and simple.
  • For a different flavor, feel free to substitute American cheese with your preferred cheese.
  • Use whole wheat or multigrain English muffins for added nutrition.
  • Be careful when removing the bowl from the microwave as it may be hot.
