The Perfect Breakfast Sandwich

Toast bread.

While bread is toasting, in a medium skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Crack eggs into the pan. For sunny side up, cook just until the whites are set, about 3 to 4 minutes. For over easy, cook until the whites are set. Turn the eggs over and cook just long enough for a white film to form over the yolks, about 30 seconds. For over well, cook until the whites are set. Turn the eggs over and cook until the yolks are completely set, about 1 minute. For well done or steam-fried eggs, prepare sunny-side up eggs. Cover the skillet during the last minute of cooking, or spoon 1 tsp (5 mL) water over each egg and cover the pan. Cook until done as desired.

If desired, spread mayonnaise over 2 pieces of toast. Top each with cheese, then an egg. Sprinkle eggs with salt and pepper. Top each with a remaining piece of toast.
