# Ingredient List:
→ Ramen
01 - 1 package (3 oz) instant ramen noodles, flavor packet reserved or discarded
02 - 1 large egg
→ Cheese Filling
03 - 4 slices (2.8 oz) cheddar cheese or preferred cheese
04 - 2 teaspoons hot sauce, adjust to taste
→ For Cooking
05 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
06 - Salt and pepper, to taste
# How to Prepare:
01 - Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add ramen noodles and cook for 2 minutes until just tender. Drain thoroughly and allow to cool slightly.
02 - In a mixing bowl, beat the egg. Add the drained noodles and season lightly with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly to coat noodles evenly.
03 - Divide the noodle mixture into four equal portions. Press each portion into a ring mold or small bowl lined with parchment paper to form compact patties approximately the size of sandwich bread slices.
04 - Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the noodle patties in batches, 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp. Remove and set aside.
05 - Place two noodle patties on a clean surface. Top each with two slices of cheese and drizzle with hot sauce. Cover with the remaining noodle patties to form sandwiches.
06 - Wipe the skillet clean and add the remaining butter. Return sandwiches to the pan and cook over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until cheese is melted and exteriors are crisp.
07 - Slice sandwiches in half and serve immediately while hot.
