+name: egg & cheese sandwiches
+category: main course
+tried: yes
+how_good: very fast and easy to make, good as a meal when too busy to cook
+source: Akemi
+ingredients:
+  - 4 slices of bread
+  - 1-2 slices of cheese, depending on bread size
+  - 2 large eggs
+  - 1/4 tsp hot chilli powder
+directions:
+  1: Crack both eggs on a large plate
+  2: Cover and heat in microwave for about 80s, or until egg whites aren't fluid
+  3: >
+    Add microwaved egg, half the cheese, and half the chilli powder to each
+    sandwich
+  4: Heat in microwave for about 40s
+notes: >
+  Adjust chilli powder to your spice tolerance. Microwaves significantly vary
+  in power, so cook in step 2 until the eggs aren't raw. This recipe is very
+  minimal, targeting busy students, though vegetables would likely improve it
