Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a slice of cheese to the egg while it cooks. If you prefer a healthier option, swap out the mayonnaise for avocado spread. Using whole grain or sourdough bread can enhance the flavor and nutrition of your sandwich. Make sure to preheat your skillet to avoid sticking, and adjust the cooking time based on your desired egg doneness.
