Veggie Breakfast Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 25 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 1 sandwich, 1 serving

Ingredients

  • olive oil for frying
  • 3 medium-size mushrooms
  • 1 medium-size tomato
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • 1 egg
  • 2 slices bread
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ¼ cup grated cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Slice the mushrooms and tomato into thick rounds.
  • Drizzle a bit of olive oil into a frying pan and cook the mushrooms over a medium heat for 5 minutes until they just start to brown. Remove the mushrooms and set to one side.
  • Add another drizzle of oil into the pan and cook the tomato slices and chopped chives for another 5 minutes over a high heat, until the edges start to blacken. Remove from the pan and set to one side.
  • Fill the pan with enough oil to create a thin layer over the bottom of the pan and cook the egg to your liking. Hint: if you want a runny yolk, only cook the egg for about 1 minute, since it will cook more later on.
  • Whilst the egg is cooking, butter both sides of each slice of bread. Top one side of each slice with the grated cheese.
  • On one piece of bread, top the cheese with the mushrooms, tomato-chive mix and the egg. Carefully fold the other piece of buttered bread and cheese on top to create a sandwich.
  • Cook the buttered sandwich for 5 minutes on either side, until golden brown.
  • Slice in half and serve immediately whilst hot.
