double-fiber English muffin
1 (3/4 oz.) slice cheddar cheese

Take a small microwave-safe glass baking/mixing dish (see in bottom left picture above) and grease thoroughly with butter. Add large egg and water and mix together with a fork. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Place in microwave and cook on high heat for 45 seconds to 1 minute or until thoroughly cooked (see bottom right picture above). Note: while it is cooking, you will see the egg rise up but it should not overflow from the glass dish. Meanwhile, toast bread as desired and slice in half. Remove egg from glass dish using a clean fork and place it on top of one of the toast halves. Add any meat first on top then cheese. If desired, melt cheese in microwave on high for 15 to 30 seconds. Then, add any additional condiments and vegetables. Top with other toast half and serve.
