Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Butter
- 2 slices of bread (white, sourdough, or whole wheat)
- 1 tbsp butter (divided)
Egg Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cheese
- 2 slices cheddar or American cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined for a smooth scrambled egg base.
- Scramble the Eggs: Heat 1/2 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble the eggs until just set, then remove from heat to prevent overcooking.
- Butter the Bread: Spread the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of butter on one side of each slice of bread evenly to ensure a golden, crispy exterior when cooked.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat, allowing it to warm evenly for optimal toasting.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place one slice of bread, butter-side down, onto the hot skillet. Layer one slice of cheese, the scrambled eggs, then the second slice of cheese on top. Finally, place the other slice of bread on top, butter-side up.
- Cook the Sandwich: Grill the sandwich for 2–3 minutes on each side or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted to gooey perfection.
- Serve: Remove the grilled cheese from the skillet, let it cool slightly to avoid burning, then slice and serve warm for a delicious breakfast experience.
Notes
- Use your preferred type of bread; sourdough adds a tangy flavor while whole wheat offers extra fiber.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to taste.
- For a crispier sandwich, press down gently with a spatula while cooking.
- Optionally, add herbs like chives or parsley to the scrambled eggs for extra flavor.
- Make sure the skillet is at medium heat to prevent burning the bread before the cheese melts.
