Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Small non-stick frying pan
  • 1/2 tbsp. butter (or other fat or non-stick spray)
  • 1 or 2 eggs
  • 2 slices white bread (or other)
  • mayonnaise
  • ketchup (optional)
  • salt (optional)
  • pepper (optional)

    How to Make a Fried Egg Sandwich

  1. Step 1

    Heat frying pan on medium high heat. Add butter and wait for it to stop foaming and sizzling.

  2. Step 2

    Break egg(s) into pan and lightly scramble. Use a spatula to keep shaping them into the same size as the bread slices.

  3. Step 3

    Spread mayonnaise on bread slices while egg is cooking. Add ketchup, salt and pepper to one slice of bread, if desired.

  4. Step 4

    Flip egg to finish cooking. Place cooked egg on bread slice with ketchup, top with the other slice. Eat and enjoy!

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.
