How to Make Fried Egg And Cheese Sandwich

  1. Melt 1 tablespoon of margarine in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Crack 2 eggs into the pan.
  3. Gently fry the eggs for 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.
  4. Sprinkle eggs with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  5. Carefully flip the eggs and cook for another minute.
  6. Using a fork, gently poke the yolk to allow some to seep out (optional).
  7. Spread 2 tablespoons of Cheez Whiz (or cheddar cheese) on one slice of bread.
  8. Top with fried egg and optional fried onions and Thousand Island dressing.
  9. Cover with the other slice of bread.
  10. Carefully place the sandwich in the frying pan and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  11. Remove from the pan and enjoy immediately!
