Description
A quick and hearty breakfast sandwich made with fluffy scrambled eggs, melted cheese, and crispy golden bread. Perfect for busy mornings or a cozy brunch.
Ingredients
2 slices of whole wheat or sourdough bread
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon butter (plus more for grilling)
2 slices of cheddar cheese (or preferred cheese)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon mayonnaise (optional)
Fresh herbs (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Optional: Spread mayonnaise on one side of each bread slice.
- Whisk the eggs in a bowl with salt and pepper until smooth.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet. Pour in eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2–3 minutes until fluffy and set. Remove eggs from skillet and set aside.
- Add more butter to the skillet if needed. Place one slice of bread butter-side-down in the skillet.
- Layer with a slice of cheese, scrambled eggs, another slice of cheese, and top with the second slice of bread (butter-side-up).
- Grill the sandwich for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden and cheese is melted.
- Remove from heat, slice in half, and serve hot.
Notes
Use any melty cheese like Swiss, mozzarella, gouda, or pepper jack.
Add bacon, ham, or herbs for extra flavor.
Hot sauce or paprika adds a nice kick.
Best enjoyed fresh, but can be refrigerated and reheated in a skillet.
