Sandwich

  1. Set oven rack two levels below broiler element and heat oven to broil.

  10. Once oil is hot, carefully pour egg into pan. Cook egg until golden, about 10 seconds, then using spatula, fold egg in half (as if you were making an omelet).
  11. Continue to cook just until nearly cooked through, about 10 seconds longer per side; then transfer to paper towels to drain; set aside.
