Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Butter
- 2 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
Eggs and Cheese
- 2 large eggs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or your favorite cheese)
Optional Toppings
- Hot sauce
- Fresh herbs
- Avocado
- Bacon
Instructions
- Make the scrambled eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them with a pinch of salt and pepper until fully combined, ensuring a uniform and seasoned mixture.
- Heat the skillet and melt butter: Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to prepare for cooking the eggs.
- Cook the eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, allowing them to set slightly before gently stirring with a spatula to form soft curds. Remove the eggs from heat while slightly underdone to avoid overcooking, as they will continue to cook off the heat.
- Prepare to assemble the sandwich: While the eggs are cooking, heat another skillet or griddle over medium heat to grill the sandwich.
- Butter the bread: Spread about 1 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of bread to ensure a golden, crispy exterior when grilled.
- Add the cheese: Place cheese slices between the unbuttered sides of the bread, forming the sandwich layers.
- Grill the sandwich: Once the skillet is hot, place the sandwich buttered side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until the bread is golden and crispy and the cheese has melted completely.
- Add scrambled eggs: Remove the grilled sandwich from the skillet, open it slightly, and add the scrambled eggs inside. Close the sandwich to contain the filling.
- Serve: Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately. Pair with pickles, chips, or your favorite dipping sauce for a complete meal.
Notes
- You can choose any bread type such as white, whole wheat, or sourdough according to your preference.
- Use your favorite cheese variety for different flavors; cheddar or American cheese works best for melting.
- To keep the eggs creamy, avoid overcooking them in the skillet.
- Optional toppings like hot sauce, fresh herbs, avocado, or bacon can add extra flavor and texture to the sandwich.
- Make sure to grill the sandwich on medium heat to prevent burning while allowing cheese to melt.
