Ingredients:

2 slices of bread (choose your favorite: white, whole grain, or sourdough) 1 large egg Salt and pepper to taste Butter or oil for frying (optional) Optional toppings: cheese, lettuce, tomato, avocado, bacon, hot sauce, etc.

Instructions:

Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and any optional toppings you want to include. Fry the Egg: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to the skillet. Crack the egg into the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the white is set but the yolk is still runny. If you prefer a firmer yolk, cook it a bit longer. Season with salt and pepper to taste. To Toast the Bread: While the egg is cooking, toast the bread in a toaster or on another skillet until golden brown. Assemble the Sandwich: Place the fried egg on one slice of toasted bread. Add any optional toppings like cheese, lettuce, tomato, or avocado on top of the egg. Top with the second slice of bread. Feel Free to Customize: You can tailor the sandwich to your preferences by adjusting the toppings or the texture of the yolk.

Cooking an Egg:

There are various methods to cook an egg, such as frying, scrambling, poaching, or hard or soft boiling. Here’s a quick overview:

Frying: This method is straightforward and convenient. Choose a non-stick skillet and use butter or oil. Scrambling: Combine beaten eggs with milk or water and gently stir during cooking. Poaching: Simmer the egg in hot water until set. Boiling: Drop the egg into boiling water and let it cook for a few minutes.

After cooking, remove the shell if necessary. A small prick with a fork can help the yolk soak into the bread for added flavor and moistness.

You can add a variety of toppings to add more flavor. Some popular options include mayonnaise, ketchup, cheese, sauce (such as spaghetti sauce), and fresh greens.

Top the sandwich with another slice of bread and toast the sandwich for extra crumpets for a delicious finish.
