Breakfast sandwiches are an easy way to grab some protein on the go. However, making each individual part can be time-consuming, especially if you’re running late. Fortunately, this TikTok hack can show you how to make an egg and cheese breakfast sandwich in a single pan in just a couple of minutes! Grab a large pan, a spatula, and your favorite bread to get started on this delicious breakfast.
Ingredients
- Small pat of butter
- 2 eggs
- 2 slices of bread
- 1 cup (200 g) of shredded cheddar cheese
Makes 1 sandwich.
Steps
Cooking the Eggs
-
1Put a large pan on the stove and turn it to medium heat. Find a pan that can hold at least 2 slices of bread plus a little extra room on the side. Put your pan on the stove and turn it up to medium heat, then let the burner warm up for about 1 minute.
- The more room you have, the easier it will be to flip your eggs and make the sandwich.
-
2Grease the warm pan with butter. Grab a small pat of butter and use a knife to rub it on the bottom and the sides of the pan. Make sure you coat the entire thing so that the eggs don’t stick to the bottom, or you’ll have a tough time flipping them later on.
- If you don’t have butter, you can also use olive oil cooking spray.

3Whisk 2 eggs in a bowl. Crack 2 large eggs into a small bowl and use a fork or a whisk to combine them until they’re smooth. Make sure you don’t get any egg shell chunks in the eggs, or your sandwich might be crunchy.
-
4Pour the eggs into the pan. Grab your bowl of eggs and carefully pour it into your warm pan, trying not to spill any on the way. You might hear some sizzling in the pan as the eggs start to cook, but that’s a good sign!
- If the pan starts to smoke at all, turn the heat down a little bit.
-
5Add 2 slices of bread to the pan, coating them in the eggs. Take one slice of bread and dip one side into the eggs, then flip it over and set it in the eggs near the top of the pan. Grab your second slice of bread and dip it in the eggs, then put it in the pan underneath your first slice of bread. You’ll be flipping one slice of bread on top of the other at the very end to make your sandwich, which is why they need to be lined up like this.
- You can use any kind of bread you think would be nice with eggs.
Folding the Sandwich
-
1Flip the eggs and bread when the eggs are hard enough. Once the eggs have cooked into one solid mass, slide a spatula under the side of the eggs and position it under the slices of bread. In one quick motion, flip the egg and bread mass over completely to cook the other side.
- This part can be a little tricky. If you accidentally fold the eggs, just use your spatula to spread them out again so they lie flat in the pan.
-
2Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the bread. You can use pre-sliced cheddar cheese, or you can slice your own. Sprinkle a handful on each slice of bread on top of the eggs. The slices will be underneath the eggs now, so look for the bread outline to see where exactly they are in the pan.
- The cheese will add a little bit of gooey goodness to your sandwich, so don’t hold back!
-
3Fold the edges of the eggs onto the slices of bread. Take your spatula and slide it underneath one side of the eggs. Flip the edge of the eggs that aren’t on the bread over so that it covers the cheese, then do the same thing to the other edge. You should end up with a long rectangle layered with eggs, cheese, more eggs, and bread underneath.
- The eggs might crack a little bit as you do your flip, but that’s fine.
-
4Flip one slice of bread on top of the other to make a sandwich. Slide your spatula underneath one slice of bread. Flip it up and over the other slice of bread to make a flat sandwich with the eggs in between the slices.
- If you’re lucky, the eggs will stay inside the slices of bread the whole time! If not, use your spatula to scoop them off the pan and back into the sandwich.
-
5Put the sandwich on a plate and cut it in half to eat. Slide the sandwich off the pan and onto the plate with a spatula. If you want to, cut the sandwich in half diagonally before you dig in to reveal the layers of egg and cheese.
- These sandwiches are super easy to make, and they toast the bread and cook the eggs at the same time.
Things You’ll Need
- Large pan
- Spatula
- Bowl
- Whisk or fork
