The secret to a good grilled cheese is cooking it on low so that the cheese melts, so don’t rush things. After about 8 minutes, when the cheese is melted, flip the sandwich over. Don’t worry if some of the cheese crumbles fall out. They’ll crispen the edges of the bread.

Start a second skillet, a small one, over medium heat. Put a dab of butter into it, and when it melts, crack an egg into the pan. Cook it on medium heat for about 3 minutes for a sunny-side up egg. Flip it if you want to fry it completely.
