Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices of hearty bread (sourdough or multigrain)
- 2 large eggs
- 4 slices of crispy bacon or breakfast sausage (optional)
- 2 slices of your favorite cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or American)
- 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs like chives or parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by scrambling the eggs in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until fluffy and set aside.
- If using bacon or sausage, cook until crispy, then drain and set aside.
- Butter one side of each bread slice generously.
- Place one bread slice buttered-side-down on a heated skillet. Layer your cheese, scrambled eggs, and optional bacon or sausage on top.
- Top with the second bread slice, buttered-side-up.
- Cook the sandwich over medium heat until golden brown on one side, about 3-4 minutes.
- Carefully flip and cook the other side until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy. Press gently with a spatula for even toasting.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add sliced tomatoes or sautéed spinach inside the sandwich.
- Use whole grain bread for added fiber and nutrition.
- Reheat in a skillet or oven to keep the crispy texture intact.
