Mouthwatering Cheesy Egg Melt Sandwich delivers breakfast comfort with golden toasted bread and melted cheese embracing perfectly scrambled eggs. Crispy edges and rich flavors make this simple sandwich a quick morning delight you’ll crave again and again.


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

  1. Vigorously whisk eggs, whole milk, kosher salt, and ground black pepper in a mixing bowl until the mixture appears smooth and uniformly blended.
  2. Melt unsalted butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, ensuring even coating across the surface.
  3. Gently pour the whisked egg mixture into the heated skillet, stirring continuously to create soft, creamy scrambled eggs with a consistent texture.
  4. Once the eggs reach your preferred consistency, immediately remove the skillet from heat to prevent overcooking.
  5. Preheat a separate griddle or skillet to medium heat, preparing for the sandwich assembly.
  6. Select two slices of bread and generously sprinkle shredded cheese (approximately or 28 grams) across the interior surfaces.
  7. Carefully distribute the warm scrambled eggs evenly over the cheese on one bread slice, creating a delectable base layer.
  8. Position the second bread slice on top, with the cheese side facing downward, creating a complete sandwich.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
