Method

Prepare the Ingredients

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bread

    Lay out 6 slices of bread on a clean surface.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Eggs

    Crack 3 large eggs into a bowl and beat them lightly with a fork. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Slice the Vegetables

    Wash and slice the tomato. Rinse the lettuce leaf and set it aside.

Cook the Eggs

  1. 4

    Heat the Pan

    In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.

  2. 5

    Cook the Eggs

    Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet and let them cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes, or until the edges start to set.

  3. 6

    Add Cheese

    Place 3 slices of cheddar cheese on top of the eggs, cover the skillet, and allow the cheese to melt for 1-2 minutes.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 7

    Spread Mayonnaise

    Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on each slice of the bread.

  2. 8

    Add Egg and Vegetables

    Once the eggs are cooked and the cheese has melted, place one egg and cheese portion on 3 slices of bread. Top with a slice of tomato and a lettuce leaf.

  3. 9

    Close the Sandwich

    Top with the remaining slices of bread to make 3 sandwiches.

Fry the Sandwiches

  1. 10

    Heat Butter in Skillet

    In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and heat over medium heat.

  2. 11

    Fry the Sandwiches

    Place each sandwich in the skillet and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  3. 12

    Cut and Serve

    Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, cut each sandwich into 4 triangles, and serve warm.
