Tips & Warnings

• You can toast the bread if you like.

• You can add a slice of ham or sausage, or lettuce and tomato, if you want to get fancy.

• Try dicing and browning one slice of bacon in the pan before cooking the egg. Omit the butter.

• You can also add other ingredients, like chopped onion or other veggies, to the butter before you add the egg.

• You can add sliced or shredded cheese to the cooked egg after you turn the heat off. Place a lid over the pan for 30 seconds to help the cheese melt.

• The egg will cook quickly. Make sure you have your bread ready to go.
