Step 1: Toast the Bread
Spread butter on the cut sides of the bread roll. Place the bread roll butter-side down on a preheated griddle. Toast until golden brown on both sides. If using sandwich bread, toast in a toaster.

Add a little butter to the griddle.
Crack an egg onto the griddle. Fry to your desired doneness (over medium in this recipe).
Step 3: Melt the Cheese
Once the egg is cooked to your liking, place a slice of cheese on top.
Let the cheese melt slightly from the heat of the egg.
Step 4: Assemble the Sandwich
Place the toasted bottom half of the bread roll on a plate.
Carefully slide the cooked egg and melted cheese onto the bread.
Top with the other half of the bread roll.
