Description
A delicious and cheesy breakfast sandwich that combines eggs, cheese, and whole grain bread for a satisfying morning treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices of whole grain bread
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 2 slices of cooked bacon or ham
- Optional: Fresh herbs like chives or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. While the skillet is warming, spread softened butter on one side of each slice of bread.
- Place one slice of bread, butter side down, in the skillet.
- In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the skillet, allowing them to cook for about 1-2 minutes until they begin to set.
- Sprinkle the cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over the eggs. If using bacon or ham, add it on top of the cheese.
- Top with the second slice of bread, butter side up. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the bottom slice is golden brown.
- Carefully flip the sandwich using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese is melted.
- Remove from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Cut in half and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture.
- Swap out the cheeses for your favorites, like pepper jack or gouda, for a different flavor profile.
