ingredients
directions
- Heat the butter in a medium-sized non-stick frying pan over medium high heat.
- When it's very hot, crack one egg on one side of the pan and one egg on the other side of the pan.
- Try to keep them from running into each other so that they can be flipped individually.
- CRUCIAL: Poke the yolks with the eggshell (or a fork) so that they run into the whites.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper on the eggs.
- When eggs have set (edges seem firm), flip carefully.
- I usually end up flipping them a few times to make sure the yolk is thoroughly cooked (it's okay if it's a little soft inside but not runny).
- When almost done, top each egg with a piece of cheese and cover with a lid until melty--watch closely.
- Spread mayo on each slice of toast, top with eggs, and put together.

oh man, i totally grew up eating this! my favorite part about this recipe is that you like your fried egg as i do, with the yolk broken and flipped a few times just to make sure it isn't runny! thanks so much for posting! super easy comfort food at it's finest for me! i only use 1 egg per sandwhich and i like to add some bacon strips or a slice of grilled canadian bacon with a few thin red onion slices!! mmm-mmm!
