Ingredients
1 large egg
1 whole wheat hamburger bun
1 tablespoon part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
3 slices pepperoni (optional)
1 tablespoon pizza sauce
Non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Thoroughly wash your hands with soap and warm water before handling the raw egg.
Coat a small non-stick skillet with cooking spray and place it over medium heat.
Once the pan is hot, crack the egg directly into the skillet and immediately break the yolk with a spatula or fork to create a scrambled-style base.
Cook the egg for 2-3 minutes until the white is set and opaque. Flip the egg over carefully using a spatula.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the cooked side of the egg. If using pepperoni, arrange the slices on top of the cheese.
Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is fully melted. The egg should be cooked through with no runny white remaining.
While the cheese melts, split open the hamburger bun and spread the pizza sauce on both halves.
Using a spatula, carefully transfer the cooked egg with melted cheese and pepperoni onto the sauce-spread bun and serve immediately.
Comments
All six ingredients are staples at every major Charlotte chain, with no special trips needed—even the whole wheat bun is standard. At roughly $2–2.50 per serving, this is genuinely cheap, though the cost depends on whether you're buying quality mozzarella or the pre-shredded kind. The stated seven minutes is plausible if you're cooking a single egg and assembling while it cooks, though toasting the bun fairly adds thirty seconds and the egg truly needs attention so it doesn't overcook. This is a solid weeknight lunch or quick breakfast for one, reheats adequately in a toaster oven, but it's inherently a single-serving dish and offers no meaningful leftovers—it's not a family meal, and the fussiness is low but not zero.
