Best Ever Egg & Cheese Sandwich
"This is an old family favorite. I have added a little heat to it with the pepper flakes. Fried onions are also a nice option to make it a little special. Try it with a little Thousand Island Dressing. Cheddar cheese is fine but Cheez Whiz does the trick!"

- 6
- Serves:
-
1
ingredients
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons margarine (or butter)
- 2 slices bread (multigrain is best)
- 1 tablespoon Cheez Whiz (or your favorite cheese)
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- red pepper flakes (to taste)
directions
- Melt margarine in frying pan.
- Add egg (don't break the yolk, but if you do that is alright too!).
- Gently fry the egg.
- Sprinkle the egg with the salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes. (if you don't like hot, leave them off).
- Flip the egg over. I like the yolk to be a bit soft. Polk the yolk after you have turned the egg so that a bit of the yolk seeps out.
- Spread the Cheez Whiz on one side of the bread.
- Put the egg on the bread and top with the other slice of bread. (I like the side with the pepper flakes to meet the Cheez Whiz).
- Return the sandwich to your fryng pan and grill until golden, flip over and grill the other side. (I don't butter the sandwich before frying).
- Enjoy!

I give this 5 stars because it is good. Many of us grew up having these for a quick Sunday night supper, quick breakfast for sports-playing kids, but seriously, is this really a recipe?

I love anything with cheese whiz so this is right up my alley! Had to make 2. 1 just wasn't enough! -
It's a cross between a grilled cheese and a fried egg sandwich! -
Wow! who would of thought something so simple to taste this good,thank you. -
These were really good! I love fried egg sandwiches and the red pepper really made these! What a great idea to spruce them up. I did use the Cheeze Whiz - I don't normally have it around - but DGS had been here recently, lol. Great technique on grilling them. Thanks GaylaV for a quick, simple, tasty sammie. Made for ZWT5 2009 Family Picks.

Terrific Sandwich, we loved the addition of the red pepper flakes along with Thousand Island dressing. It transformed a regular egg and cheese sandwich into something deliciously different! I used cheddar cheese in place of the cheese whiz and served on a multi-grain flax seed bread. Made for ZWT 5 :)

Gooey goodness. This was easy and tasty. I used bacon grease instead of margarine, and Velveeta instead of Cheez Whiz (American cheese slices would work, too...any "processed" cheese will have the same results!) I usually toast bread in the toaster when making breakfast sandwiches...grilling it in the same pan was a tasty, different way to accomplish this. And I liked the addition of pepper flakes to spice it up a bit. -
Brings back memories - with American cheese instead of Cheez Whiz. -
Simple, quick and delicious. That will always rate 5 stars in my book. I love egg sandwiches and liked that this one was grilled. I used butter instead of margarine and added red pepper flakes for a little zip. Made for ZWT4. Thanks for posting Laffer. -
Egg sandwiches are so easy and tasty. I made mine on sourdough bread and used shredded mild cheddar cheese. Added a pinch of red pepper flakes and used butter instead of margarine. DH would love these for a weekend lunch or supper. Might try adding a few pieces of bacon before grilling next time. Made and reviewed for ZWT 4.
