    1⁄4 cup mayonnaise

    4 slices Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeño peppers (4 ounces)

    1 tablespoon butter

    4 eggs

    Salt

    Ground black pepper

    1 medium tomato, thinly sliced

    1 Preheat broiler. Place bread slices on an ungreased large baking sheet. Broil 4 to 6 inches from the heat for 1 to 2 minutes or until bread is lightly browned, turning once. Remove half of the bread slices and spread with mayonnaise; set aside. Top the remaining bread slices with cheese. Broil about 1 minute more or until cheese is melted.

    3 Place eggs on the mayonnaise-topped bread slices. Top with tomato, lettuce, and the remaining bread slices, cheese sides down.
