Bodega-Style Egg-and-Cheese Sandwich

1. Prepare and Beat the Egg

Crack the large egg into a mixing bowl, add a splash of water (15ml), a pinch of kosher salt (0.5g), and a few grinds of black pepper (0.3g). Beat the mixture until it's well combined.

2. Cook the Egg

Heat the skillet over medium-high heat, melt two teaspoons of butter (9g), and pour in the beaten egg, allowing it to spread into a thin layer and cook until lightly set, about 30 to 45 seconds.

3. Add Cheese and Fold Egg

Sprinkle a slice of cheddar cheese (28g) over the set egg. Fold the egg over the cheese like a business letter to match the shape of your bread and let it cook for another 30 seconds.

4. Assemble the Sandwich

Remove the folded egg from the skillet and place it onto a toasted English muffin. The residual heat from the egg will continue to melt the cheese.
