Prep Time: 10 mins

Total Time: 15 mins

Servings per Recipe: 1

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 egg
• 1 slice Cheddar cheese
• 1 tsp mayonnaise, or to taste
• 1 tsp mustard, or to taste
• 1 tsp ketchup, or to taste
• 1 pinch Cajun seasoning, or to taste
• 1 dash hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco(R))
• 2 slices white bread, toasted
• 1 lettuce leaf
• 1 slice tomato

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Begin by heating a skillet and melting the butter over medium heat.
2. Crack the egg into the skillet and fry it for about 3 minutes until the white is mostly set. Carefully flip the egg and continue to cook for an additional 3 minutes, ensuring the yolk remains slightly runny. While the egg is cooking, place the Cheddar cheese slice on top to allow it to melt.
3. Sprinkle a pinch of Cajun seasoning onto the egg and cheese, adding a delightful kick of spice.
4. While the egg is cooking, toast two slices of white bread until they are golden brown and crispy.
5. Once the egg is perfectly cooked and the cheese is melted, remove it from the skillet.
6. To assemble the sandwich, generously coat both toasted bread slices with ketchup, mustard, and mayo.
7. Place a lettuce leaf on one slice of bread, followed by a slice of tomato.
8. Carefully place the cheesy fried egg on top of the tomato slice.
9. Add a dash of hot pepper sauce for an extra kick of heat, and if you desire more Cajun flavor, sprinkle a bit more Cajun seasoning.
10. Complete your sandwich by adding the other slice of bread on top to create a delicious, satisfying Cajun-Style Breakfast Sandwich.
11. Now, it’s time to savor every bite of your creation. Enjoy your flavorful and zesty breakfast or snack with a side of your favorite beverage.

TIPS:

• Egg Perfection: To achieve the perfect fried egg, cook it for about 3 minutes on one side, then carefully flip it and cook for an additional 3 minutes before topping with cheese.
• Cheese Melt: Allow the cheese to melt over the fried egg for that irresistible gooey goodness. It should take about 3 minutes for the cheese to achieve that ideal melt.
• Condiment Spread: Don’t skimp on the condiments! Generously coat both slices of toasted white bread with ketchup, mustard, and mayo for a burst of creamy and tangy flavors.
• Cajun Spice: Customize the level of spice to your liking by adding Cajun seasoning. Start with a pinch and adjust according to your preference.
• Hot Sauce Kick: If you enjoy a bit of heat, don’t forget to add a dash of hot pepper sauce like Tabasco(R) for that extra kick.
