Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Cooking
- 1 tablespoon butter, divided
- 2 slices bread (sourdough, whole wheat, or your choice)
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or 2 slices)
Optional Add-ins
- Chopped chives
- Cooked bacon
- Spinach
Instructions
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Cook Scrambled Eggs: Melt ½ tablespoon of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and gently stir continuously until soft, fluffy scrambled eggs form. Remove eggs from skillet and set aside.
- Butter the Bread: Spread the remaining butter evenly on one side of each bread slice. This will help achieve a golden, crispy exterior when grilled.
- Assemble Sandwich in Skillet: Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet over medium heat. Layer half of the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top, then add the scrambled eggs, followed by the remaining cheese. Top with the second slice of bread, buttered side up.
- Grill the Sandwich: Cook the sandwich for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure even browning and melting of the cheese. Flip carefully to avoid spilling the filling. The bread should be golden brown and the cheese fully melted.
- Serve: Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice in half if desired, and serve hot for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try using a cheese blend or add a dash of hot sauce inside.
- Make the sandwich heartier by including ham, turkey, or sautéed vegetables like mushrooms and peppers.
- Use whole grain or sourdough bread for added texture and nutrition.
- Ensure the skillet is nonstick or well-seasoned for easy flipping and browning.
