  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices of sturdy bread (such as sourdough or Texas toast)
  • 4 slices of crispy cooked bacon
  • 4 large eggs, scrambled
  • 4 slices of sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons of butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: sliced tomato, avocado, or hot sauce for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. Start by cooking the bacon until crispy and set aside. Scramble the eggs in a bowl, season with salt and pepper, then keep ready for cooking. Gather your bread slices and cheese slices for easy assembly.
  2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt a teaspoon of butter, and pour in the beaten eggs. Stir gently until the eggs are fully cooked but still moist. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Lay two slices of bread on a flat surface. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each, then add the scrambled eggs and bacon. Cover with the remaining bread slices.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Carefully transfer the assembled sandwiches into the skillet. Grill each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown and the cheese melts. Press lightly with a spatula to ensure even grilling.

Notes

  • Use thick-cut bread for sturdy handling of fillings.
  • Cook bacon until crispy to add crunch and flavor.
  • Don’t overpack the sandwich to prevent spillage during grilling.
  • Experiment with cheeses like Swiss or pepper jack for variations.
  • Serve immediately for the best melted cheese experience.
