Preparation Instructions

Broil the toast on one side. Flip over, add the cheese and broil. Alternatively, toss it in a toaster oven with the cheese on top.

Meanwhile, heat a pan over medium heat. Swirl the butter in the pan and as soon as it has fully melted, add the egg. Season with salt and pepper. When the white has set, loosen it with a spatula and flip over. Sear on this side until the yolk is as cooked or as runny as you might like. If you prefer a hard yolk, try breaking it and the yolk will quickly cook through.

Cut the toast in half. Place the egg on top of the melted cheese and fill with the baby spinach. Wrap up if taking on the go, or eat immediately.
