Crunchy, golden-toasted bread contrasts with gooey melted cheddar and creamy mayonnaise. The fried egg adds a silky, runny yolk that coats the toast for a rich, slightly slick bite.
Pronounced savory notes from cheddar and soy sauce with warm fried-egg and toasted-bread aromas. A subtle tang of rice vinegar and tomato flakes lifts the profile, adding a faint bright, slightly acidic note.
A crisp pale lager or a chilled, slightly acidic white wine (like Sauvignon Blanc); nonalcoholic options: iced green tea or sparkling water with lemon.
Simple mixed green salad with a light vinaigrette to cut the richness, or quick pickled cucumbers/kimchi for acidity and crunch; roasted cherry tomatoes or sweet potato fries also pair well.
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon tomato flakes, and 1 tablespoon mayonnaise. Stir well until you have a smooth, glossy sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pan over medium heat. Toast both bread slices until golden and crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Remove and place on a plate.
Spread 1 tablespoon mayonnaise on each toasted bread slice. Sprinkle half the shredded cheddar cheese on each slice.
Add 1 tablespoon oil to the same pan over medium heat. Crack both eggs into the pan and cook until the whites are set but yolks are still runny (about 3-4 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
Place one fried egg on top of each cheesy toast. Drizzle the sweet-savory sauce generously over the eggs and bread. Serve immediately while warm.
