Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix egg, tomato, salt, and pepper together in a bowl.
- Melt butter in a frying pan and add the egg mixture.

- Place a slice of cheese on top of the cooked egg to melt slightly.
- Spread mayonnaise or butter on toasted bread slices.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of milk to the egg mixture before cooking. You can substitute the canned tomato with fresh diced tomatoes or even sun-dried tomatoes for a different flavor profile. If you prefer a healthier option, use whole grain bread instead of white bread. This sandwich is also delicious with added chopped spinach, making it a great way to incorporate more vegetables into your meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this egg and tomato sandwich with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with Pat'S Five Cup Fruit Salad for a refreshing contrast. For an extra kick, add sliced jalapeños or hot sauce. This dish also makes a great brunch option alongside a smoothie or a cup of coffee.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover sandwich components separately in airtight containers. The cooked egg mixture can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm the egg in a pan over low heat until heated through, and toast the bread freshly to maintain its crunchiness. Assembled sandwiches are best eaten immediately to avoid sogginess.
