Ingredients

  • 2 slices thick sliced bread
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter room temperature, divided
  • 1 egg
  • pinch kosher salt
  • pinch black pepper
  • ¼ cup Swiss or fontina cheese shredded
  • handful fresh arugula

Instructions

  • Spread 1 tablespoon of the butter on one side of each slice of bread. Set aside.
  • In a small nonstick pan, heat the remaining butter over medium high heat. Add the egg, then season with the salt and pepper. Cook the fried egg to the desired doneness, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a spatula, remove the egg from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan used to cook the egg, add one of the slices of bread, butter side down. Sprinkle the cheese over the top. Add the egg to the cheese, followed by the arugula. Top with the remaining slice of bread, buttered side out.
  • Saute until the bread is golden brown and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, then brown the other side, another 3 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat, slice in half and serve.
