Step 1: Toast the Bread

Crack an egg onto the griddle. Fry to your desired doneness (over medium in this recipe).

Step 3: Melt the Cheese

Once the egg is cooked to your liking, place a slice of cheese on top.

Let the cheese melt slightly from the heat of the egg.

Place the toasted bottom half of the bread roll on a plate.

Carefully slide the cooked egg and melted cheese onto the bread.

Top with the other half of the bread roll.
