Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices of bread (your choice: sourdough, whole grain, or white)
  • 4 slices of cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite melting cheese)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons of butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: sliced avocado, cooked bacon, or fresh herbs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients on the counter for a smoother cooking process.
  2. Prepare the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
  3. Preheat Your Pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and let it warm up for a couple of minutes.
  4. Cook the Eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Let them sit for a few seconds until they start to set around the edges. Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing them from the edges toward the center until softly scrambled but still slightly runny (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Clean the Pan: Wipe down the pan with a paper towel to remove any egg residues.
  6. Butter the Bread: Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each of two slices of bread.
  7. Layer the Ingredients: On the unbuttered side of one slice, place a slice of cheese, followed by a generous portion of scrambled eggs. Add any optional ingredients like avocado or bacon, then top with another slice of cheese and place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side facing out.
  8. Repeat: Assemble the second sandwich using the same method.
  9. Grill the Sandwiches: Place the sandwiches in the preheated skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy.
  10. Flip the Sandwiches: Carefully flip the sandwiches and cook for another 3-4 minutes until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Lower the heat if the bread browns too quickly.
  11. Check for Doneness: Cover the pan with a lid for the last minute of cooking to ensure the cheese melts fully.
  12. Remove and Slice: Once cooked, remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before slicing them in half diagonally.
  13. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of extra salt and pepper. Serve warm, optionally with a side of fresh fruit or a small salad.
  14. Enjoy: Dig in and enjoy your delicious breakfast grilled cheese sandwich!
