Ingredients
Scale
Scrambled Eggs:
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 tablespoon butter
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 slices of bread (sourdough or your choice)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
- Optional: chopped chives, hot sauce, or cooked bacon
Instructions
- Prepare the Scrambled Eggs: Crack eggs into a bowl, add milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk until fully combined. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add half the butter. Scramble eggs until just set but still soft. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Butter one side of each bread slice with the remaining butter. Place one slice, butter-side down, onto a skillet over medium heat. Layer with half the cheese, scrambled eggs, optional toppings, then the remaining cheese. Top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up.
- Grill the Sandwich: Grill for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until golden brown and cheese is melted. Slice and serve warm.
Notes
- You can swap cheddar for mozzarella, pepper jack, or Swiss.
- Add extras like sautéed spinach, diced tomatoes, or avocado slices for variation.
- To make it crispier, use mayonnaise instead of butter on the outside of the bread.
