Instructions
1
Prep
Split the crusty roll lengthwise and lay the kaşar cheese over the bottom half. Toast both cut sides face down in melted butter over medium heat, 1–2 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
2
Fry
Heat olive oil in the skillet over medium-low heat, crack the egg into it, and fry 2–3 minutes until the white sets but the yolk still jiggles slightly when nudged.
3
Plate
Slide the fried egg onto the cheese-topped roll half, cover with the pan lid off heat for 1 minute to melt the cheese, season with salt and both peppers, close with the toasted top half, and serve immediately.
