- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs (chives or parsley, optional)

Instructions
- Choose your bread: Start by selecting 2 slices of your chosen bread. Pre-toast them slightly in a toaster for extra crunch if desired.
- Heat the skillet: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add about a tablespoon of butter.
- Fry the eggs: Crack two eggs into the skillet, keeping the yolks intact and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid for firmer whites if desired.
- Add cheese: Once the eggs are nearly cooked, place a slice of cheese on top to melt slightly.
- Assemble your sandwich: Remove the eggs gently and place them on one slice of bread, adding any desired toppings. Finish with the second slice of bread.
- Finish and serve: Press the sandwich back into the skillet for a minute for extra crispiness. Serve warm and enjoy!
