Scrambled Egg Grilled Cheese Sandwich
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 2 slices Your favorite bread (Sourdough or Brioche work best!) 🍞
- 2 Large eggs 🥚
- 2 slices Sharp Cheddar or American cheese (for that perfect pull!) 🧀
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter 🧈
- 1 tbsp Heavy cream or milk (for extra fluffy eggs) 🥛
- Salt & Black pepper to taste 🧂🖤
- Optional: A dash of hot sauce or fresh chives 🌶️🌿
👩🍳 Instructions
- Whisk & Prep: In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. 🥚🌪️✨
- Scramble: Melt 1 tbsp of butter in a small non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the eggs and cook, stirring gently, until they are soft and just set. Don’t overcook them—they’ll finish warming up inside the sandwich! 🍳🥣🔥
- Butter the Bread: Butter one side of each bread slice generously. This is the secret to that perfectly even, golden-brown crust. 🧈🍞🖌️
- Assemble: Place one slice of bread (butter-side down) in a clean skillet. Add a slice of cheese, the warm scrambled eggs, and the second slice of cheese. Top with the other bread slice, butter-side up. 🥪🧀🤝
- The Golden Sear: Grill over medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side. Use a spatula to press down gently, ensuring the cheese melts completely and the bread is toasted to perfection as seen in the photo! ⏲️🥨🤤
- Serve: Slice diagonally and watch that cheese pull! Enjoy immediately while it’s hot and crispy. 🔪🍽️😋✨
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Low and Slow” Secret: Keep the heat on medium-low. This allows the cheese to melt into the eggs perfectly without burning the outside of your bread! 🌡️🛡️💎
- Mix-in Magic: Want extra flavor? Add a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning or a layer of crispy bacon before closing the sandwich! 🥓🥯🎯
