Variations Ideas
- Cheese – You can easily use your favorite type of cheese instead of cheddar cheese in this egg sandwich recipe. Use your favorite.
- Bread – We love to make this with toast but you can easily make it with a English Muffin, bagels, croissant, or brioche buns. It is even delicious with whole grains bread any bread that fits into lifestyle.
- Add Meat – For a hearty sandwich add bacon, a sausage patty or add diced ham.
- Add Veggies – Feel Free to sneak in some veggies to the scrambled eggs. Diced onions, slice tomato, spinach, and diced peppers are great additions.
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1 – Whip the eggs together with a fork in a small mixing bowl. Stir in the salt and pepper.
Step 2 – Butter one side of each slice of the bread and set aside.
Step 3 – Scramble the eggs in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove the eggs from the skillet to a separate plate.
Step 4 – Place one piece of bread into the same skillet that you scrambled the eggs (butter side down).
Step 5 – Add the eggs on top of the bread, top with the shredded cheese and top with the remaining slice of bread (buttered side out).
Step 6 – Cook the sandwich in the skillet for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and brown the other side of the sandwich for 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat and cut in half. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Skillet – Prepare the skillet by adding in butter to melt or spray with cooking spray. This prevents the sandwich from sticking and helps for cleanup.
- Prepare Eggs – Whisk the eggs together in a bowl with seasoning. If you are adding in veggies, add them in now.
- Cooking Sandwich – Toast the bread on the skillet to make the sandwich. You will cook the sandwich until golden brown.
Serving Suggestions
These breakfast sandwich are delicious served on their own but I love to add a fruit salad. Feel free to spread the bread before serving with mayo, mustard, pesto or avocado.
Take your breakfast sandwich to the next level by drizzling sriracha or hot sauce.
