Description

Hearty egg melt sandwiches combine melted cheese, perfectly scrambled eggs, and crisp toast for a satisfying breakfast experience. Comfort classics like this deliver quick nourishment that energizes you throughout morning challenges.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup (240 ml) shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or preferred)
  • 4 slices bread
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) milk
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) butter
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Egg Mixture Preparation: Whisk eggs, whole milk, kosher salt, and ground black pepper in a mixing bowl until smooth and uniformly blended.
  2. Egg Cooking: Melt unsalted butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, then pour whisked egg mixture, stirring continuously to create soft, creamy scrambled eggs with a consistent texture.
  3. Sandwich Foundation: Remove eggs from heat and select two bread slices, generously sprinkling shredded cheese across the interior surfaces.
  4. Egg Layer Assembly: Distribute warm scrambled eggs evenly over the cheese on one bread slice, then position the second bread slice on top with cheese side facing downward.
  5. Grilling Process: Transfer the assembled sandwich to a preheated medium-heat griddle or skillet, grilling for 2 to 3 minutes per side until exterior turns crispy golden brown and cheese melts completely.
  6. Serving: Remove sandwich from heat, let rest for 1 to 2 minutes, then slice diagonally and serve hot, ensuring maximum flavor and optimal texture.

Notes

  • Whisk Wisely: Blend eggs, milk, salt, and pepper thoroughly to ensure a smooth, uniform mixture without lumps.
  • Butter Basics: Use a non-stick skillet and melt butter evenly to prevent egg sticking and enhance flavor.
  • Egg Excellence: Stir eggs continuously for creamy, soft scrambled texture and remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.
  • Cheese Melting Magic: Generously sprinkle cheese inside bread slices and grill until golden brown for a perfectly melted, gooey sandwich.
