Instructions
  1. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
  2. Spread the butter on one side of each bread slice, dividing it evenly. Place both slices, buttered-side down, on a clean cutting board. Place the Ched¬dar on one slice of bread and the Jack on the other.
  3. Using a wide spatula, transfer the breads, buttered-side down, to the hot skillet. Coat a clear area in the pan with nonstick cooking spray, then carefully crack the egg into the greased space. Sprinkle the egg with salt and pepper.
  4. While the egg is cooking, keep an eye on your breads. When the bottoms are nicely browned and the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes, return them to the cutting board. When the egg white is mostly cooked through, carefully flip the egg with a silicone spatula. (Don’t worry if you break the yolk; it will still be delicious.) Cook for about 30 seconds longer, or until the egg white is fully cooked but the yolk is still soft.
  5. Slide the fried egg on top of the melted cheese on one bread slice and gently place the other bread on top, cheese-side down. Cut the sandwich in half, if desired, and serve immediately.
