Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread (sourdough or sandwich bread)
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter (plus more for grilling)
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
Optional Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives or green onions
Instructions
- Prepare the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined for a smooth mixture.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set and creamy. Remove from heat and stir in chopped chives or green onions if using.
- Prepare the Bread: Butter one side of each bread slice evenly to ensure a golden, crispy texture when grilled.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Place two slices of bread butter-side down in a skillet over medium heat. Distribute half of the scrambled eggs evenly on each slice, then sprinkle with shredded cheese. Cover with the remaining bread slices, butter-side up.
- Grill the Sandwiches: Cook the sandwiches for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted thoroughly.
- Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice them as desired, and serve hot for the best taste.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add cooked bacon, sautéed spinach, or tomatoes inside the sandwich.
- Use a mix of cheeses like mozzarella and cheddar for a gooey melt.
- Cook the eggs until just set to achieve the best creamy texture inside the sandwich.
