Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread brioche, sourdough, white, or whole wheat
- 1 tablespoon butter softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk or cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 slices cheddar American, or your favorite melty cheese
- 2 slices cooked bacon or 1 cooked sausage patty optional
- Optional add-ins: sliced tomato avocado, spinach, hot sauce
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and scramble the eggs until soft and fluffy. Set aside.
- Spread butter on one side of each bread slice.
- In the same skillet, place one slice of bread butter-side down.
- Layer with one slice of cheese, scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage (if using), and the second slice of cheese.
- Top with the second bread slice, butter-side up.
- Grill for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Let sit for 1 minute before slicing and serving hot.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, skip the bacon and add sautéed mushrooms or spinach.
- Don’t rush the grilling — low and slow gives the crispiest bread and gooey center.
- Cover your skillet with a lid to help the cheese melt faster.
- Try with different breads or cheeses for a new twist every time.
