- Gently crack an egg over the cheese, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then cover the skillet to help the egg cook evenly.
- Cook the egg until it reaches your desired doneness, either runny or fully set.
- Once the egg is cooked, layer a second slice of cheese on top of the egg.
- Place the remaining slice of bread on top, creating a sandwich.
