Pressing gently helps contain the egg. Use a variety of cheeses for different flavors.

Cook the toast: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the buttered bread slices into the pan, butter-side down. Crack an egg directly into the well of the prepared bread slice. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the egg white is set and the yolk is cooked to your preference. For the second slice, simply toast until golden brown.
