Grilled Tomato and Cheese on Toast with a Fried Egg

This is a meal I had nearly every day on Inishbofin this summer, well not every day but at least twice a week after it's discovery! I eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner because it is delicious. If you haven't noticed I have a lot of quick easy, semi-well rounded meals (This one has a tomato in it!). I am super excited to move into a new apartment in August (with more kitchen space) and do fun/semi-elaborate like bake bread!

Ingredients-
1 egg
1 slice of sandwich bread
1 tomato
1/4 c Shredded Cheese (I totally made up this amount, really I make it super cheesy)
Cooking spray (I use a Misto filled with Olive Oil)
salt and pepper
Hot sauce/spicy spices

Sometimes I get super hungry and double the recipe, and by sometimes I mean most of the time.

Directions-
First toast the bread. While the bread is toasting slice the tomato. I tend to remove the guts of the tomato so the bread doesn't get too soggy (even though you pre-toast it I still gut them). I use a toaster oven for all toasting. It makes clean up super easy, but I suppose you could do the next step in a proper oven. Next take your toast, add a layer of sliced tomatoes, top with shredded cheese (Sometimes I uses slices).  Put it in the toaster oven on Medium.

Cheese!
While the bread/cheese/tomato are in the toaster oven I fry the egg. You can prepare the egg any way you like, but I like over easy so it can be gooey.



Then I plate it up! Bread first, then the egg on top. I chose to add some spices with a little kick to the egg. Please note the Cholula in the picture. I used it too.



This was a dinner meal- note the wine. If there was a bloody it would have been breakfast! Speaking of which- if anyone has a really good bloody from scratch mix I would be interested!
