Fried Egg Sandwich
The fried egg sandwich is one of my longtime comfort foods, the dinner my mother would offer to make me when I came home from school after a bad day.

Ingredients
- 1 English muffin, split
- 1 egg
- 1 slice prosciutto
- 1.5 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper
Directions
- Melt half the butter in a small non-stick skillet over the lowest heat possible.
- Crack the egg into the pan and tilt the pan so that the egg is over to one side of the skillet.
- Keep the pan tilted until the whites begin to set on the bottom and the egg stays in place.
- Sprinkle it with salt and pepper and cover.
- Cook for 5 or 6 minutes, until the whites are opaque but the yolk is still quite runny.
- If desired, flip and cook for an additional minute for over-easy style.
- In the meantime, toast the English muffin halves and butter them with the remaining butter.
- Lay the prosciutto on both halves.
- Top one half of the muffin with the egg, put the halves together for a sandwich, and eat immediately.
