In a medium skillet, cook 2 eggs with a drizzle of olive oil for about 2-3 minutes and scramble them well.
Mix the zaatar spice with 3 tablespoons of olive oil until you have a zaatar paste.
Spread the zaatar paste on one side of each toast, and then top this side with the scrambled eggs.
Cover the eggs with your favorite shredded cheese like akawi or mozzarella.
Put the second piece of toast on the first slice that contains the zaatar, cheese, and eggs on top.
Place the sandwich on a grill or a skillet, and medium heat it for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the outside toast is golden brown.

The Zaatar and Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Fried Eggs is best when you have it hot right off the skillet.

However, if you feel you want to pack it to be eaten later on, you can wait till it cools down, and then store it in an airtight container.

An easy way is to heat it slightly in an ovenproof dish in the microwave when you want to have it, and then enjoy its savory taste.

It is also optional to cover the grill or hot skillet with a thin layer of butter before placing the sandwich on it.

This reinforces the rich flavor and gives the toast a marvelously golden brown color and a crunchy crisp.
