French Egg and Cheese

I know it has to be out there somewhere in food land but this is my version of it.  I call it the French Egg and Cheese.  When I open my diner Quinns Place it will be a B&B, that's Breakfast and Burgers. Breakfast and lunch will be served.  Open at 4 am and close at 3 pm.  I get up early now for work and wish there was a diner that was open that early so that is where I came up with the outs.  This is all in a really far out there dream of mine.  Coffee, tea, milk, OJ, water and hot chocolate.  That is your drink options.  Tea is hot or cold as is the coffee.  Nothing fancy.  Anyway where was I going with this?  Oh yeah, the French Egg and Cheese.  I made this today for lunch and it was amazing.  Now I know you can do different things with it like add ham or bacon (something that is out of my diet) but this is the basic.  Fresh homemade bread, two eggs from our chickens, yellow American cheese.  That's it.  I beat the eggs with some milk and heated the pan.  Dipped the bread on both sides as the butter (canola oil) heated up.  I fried the bread on just the one side.  Brown and done on that side I removed the toast and let it rest.  I dropped the remaining egg into the pan and cooked it omelet style. It did not take long for it to cook.  I slid it to the side and put the toast back in the pan wet side down, placed a piece of cheese on the cooked side and added the egg.  I then added another slice of cheese and then the remaining piece of bread, wet side up.  Browning the bottom I flipped it and did the same for the other slice.  Cheese melting out of the sandwich and cooking on the pan.  I would prefer Velveeta but you know how it is on a low sodium diet.  I flipped it a few times so to make sure all the egg was cooked well keeping the cheese nice and runny and the egg hot.  I think you know what is next.  I ate it.  Wow. Why have I not done this before?  I wasted no egg and had the best of both worlds.  Some of you might want to add maple syrup.  Go right ahead.  Not me.  Too sweet for my taste but to each their own.  Now you heard it here first.  The French Egg and Cheese.  If anyone is to visit for breakfast and wants the original I will be more than happy to make it.  And if there is bacon in the house I will even add that.  God bless you all, thanks for reading and see you at the breakfast counter.
