Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices of cheese (Cheddar, American, or Swiss)
Bread:
- 2 slices of bread (sourdough, white, or whole wheat)
Seasoning and Extras:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) milk (optional, for extra fluff)
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) butter
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Whisk eggs in a mixing bowl with milk, salt, and pepper until thoroughly blended, creating a smooth, uniform mixture.
- Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt butter, and gently pour in the egg mixture, stirring continuously to create soft, creamy scrambled eggs.
- Remove eggs from heat when slightly underdone, allowing residual warmth to complete cooking without overdrying.
- Spread butter evenly on one side of each bread slice, ensuring complete coverage for optimal golden crispiness.
- On the unbuttered side of one bread slice, layer a cheese slice, followed by the prepared scrambled eggs, and sprinkle with optional fresh herbs for added flavor.
- Top the eggs with another cheese slice and complete the sandwich assembly with the second bread slice, buttered side facing outward.
- Preheat a clean skillet or griddle to medium heat for consistent cooking temperature.
- Carefully place the assembled sandwich in the heated pan, grilling for 3-4 minutes on each side, applying gentle pressure to enhance cheese melting and bread browning.
- Cook until bread turns golden brown and cheese becomes perfectly melted and gooey.
- Transfer to a cutting board, slice diagonally, and serve immediately while warm and crisp.
Notes
- Whisk eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, creating fluffier scrambled eggs with a lighter texture.
- Choose high-quality, melty cheeses like sharp cheddar or gruyère for maximum flavor and smooth melting.
- Use room temperature butter for even spreading and better browning of bread without tearing.
- Experiment with herb additions like chives, parsley, or dill to elevate the sandwich’s overall taste profile.
