Learn how to make delicious Scrambled Egg Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
4 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough, whole grain, or white)
2 tablespoons butter, divided
4 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or your choice)
Optional: 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as chives or parsley)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. My abuela taught me the importance of whisking eggs thoroughly to achieve fluffy perfection—something I never forget.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, gently stirring, until the eggs are just set but still soft. Remove from heat and set aside.
Heat a separate skillet over medium heat and melt the remaining tablespoon of butter. Place two slices of bread in the skillet, and top each with a slice of cheese.
Evenly divide the scrambled eggs over the cheese slices, sprinkle with fresh herbs if using, and top with the remaining cheese and bread slices.
Cook the sandwiches until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Press down gently with a spatula for even browning.
Serve immediately, and enjoy the comforting warmth and rich flavors that remind me of cozy family breakfasts back in Asheville.
