Sandwich Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread (white, sourdough, or whole wheat)
- 2 slices cheddar or American cheese
- 1 tbsp butter (divided)
Egg Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined and smooth.
- Cook Scrambled Eggs: Heat 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble until the eggs are just set but still moist. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Butter the Bread: Spread the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. This will help achieve a golden, crispy crust when toasting.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place one slice of the buttered bread onto the skillet, buttered side down. Layer one slice of cheese on the bread, then add the scrambled eggs evenly on top. Follow with the second slice of cheese to help bind the filling.
- Top the Sandwich: Place the second slice of bread on top of the layered ingredients, buttered side facing up.
- Cook the Sandwich: Grill the sandwich for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese inside has melted thoroughly. Press gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking and melting.
- Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it cool for a minute to avoid burns, then slice it in half and serve warm for the best taste.
Notes
- Use your preferred bread type for varied textures and flavors, such as sourdough for tanginess or whole wheat for nuttiness.
- For extra flavor, add herbs like chives or parsley to the egg mixture before cooking.
- You can substitute the cheese with your favorite variety, such as mozzarella or pepper jack, to customize the sandwich.
- Serve with fresh fruit or a side of greens to balance the meal.
- Be careful not to overcook the eggs to keep them moist and tender inside the sandwich.
