Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas7 and have a baking tray ready
Separate the egg and set aside the yolk for the time being
In a clean dry bowl (any moisture/grease will inhibit the fluffing process) whisk the egg white until it stands in peeks on its own, takes about 5 minutes by hand
Toast your slice of bread but don't make it too brown because it will be going into the oven
Lightly butter one side of the toast and spoon on a layer of the fluffy egg white keeping within the edges of the slice and make a slight dent in the centre of the fluff and drop in your egg yolk
Make a slight dent in the centre of the fluff and drop in your egg yolk. Now cover over with the rest of the fluffy egg white making sure that the egg yolk is sealed into the middle of it and can't leak out anywhere
Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle on your grated cheddar cheese
Pop on the baking tray and into the oven for 8-10 minutes or until golden on top, leave for 12 minutes if you want a harder yolk
Remove from oven and serve right away.
