Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite cheese)
Carbohydrates:
- 4 slices of bread (your choice of bread)
Seasonings and Fats:
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Vigorously whisk eggs, whole milk, kosher salt, and ground black pepper in a mixing bowl until the mixture appears smooth and uniformly blended.
- Melt unsalted butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, ensuring even coating across the surface.
- Gently pour the whisked egg mixture into the heated skillet, stirring continuously to create soft, creamy scrambled eggs with a consistent texture.
- Once the eggs reach your preferred consistency, immediately remove the skillet from heat to prevent overcooking.
- Preheat a separate griddle or skillet to medium heat, preparing for the sandwich assembly.
- Select two slices of bread and generously sprinkle shredded cheese (approximately or 28 grams) across the interior surfaces.
- Carefully distribute the warm scrambled eggs evenly over the cheese on one bread slice, creating a delectable base layer.
- Position the second bread slice on top, with the cheese side facing downward, creating a complete sandwich.
- Transfer the assembled sandwich to the preheated cooking surface, grilling for 2 to 3 minutes per side until the exterior turns a crispy golden brown and the cheese melts completely.
- Remove the sandwich from heat, allowing it to rest for 1 to 2 minutes before slicing diagonally and serving hot.
Notes
- Prep like a pro by whisking eggs thoroughly to create a smooth, uniform mixture that guarantees fluffy scrambled eggs.
- Choose high-quality melting cheeses like cheddar, Swiss, or provolone for maximum flavor and gooey texture.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent eggs from sticking and ensure easy, clean cooking without extra grease.
- Butter your bread’s exterior for a crispy, golden-brown finish that adds delicious crunch to your sandwich.
- Low to medium heat is crucial for perfectly melted cheese and evenly toasted bread without burning.
- Let the sandwich rest briefly after cooking to allow cheese to set and prevent burning your mouth.
