Breakfast Grilled Cheese
Breakfast grilled cheese with melty cheese, soft scrambled eggs and crispy bacon is the ultimate breakfast sandwich and crazy delicious!
Yield: 1 sandwich
Ingredients
- 2 slices of sandwich bread
- 3 slices of American cheese
- 2-3 slices of cooked bacon
- 2 large eggs, scrambled
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
Instructions
- This recipe requires the eggs and bacon to be cooked. Scramble the eggs until cooked. Season with salt and pepper. Cook the bacon and drain.
- Assemble the sandwich. Place the American cheese on both pieces of bread (1 ½ slices of cheese per slice of bread).
- Place the cooked bacon on one of the pieces of bread. Top with the scrambled eggs. Cover with the other piece of bread to make the sandwich.
- Butter the top of the sandwich with about 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once melted, place the sandwich (buttered bread up, non buttered bread down) in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the bottom piece of bread is browned and the bottom cheese has started melting.
- Carefully flip the sandwich over and press down with a spatula. Cook another 1-2 minutes until the bread is browned and the cheese is melty.
- Serve immediately!
Notes
Bread: Feel free to use whatever kind of sandwich bread you have on hand - white, wheat, etc. It needs to be somewhat sturdy to handle this sandwich, but any kind is fine.
Cheese: We use American cheese slices for our cheese. It gets melted so well and tastes so good. You could also substitute cheddar or another cheese if you prefer. Just slice it thin so it gets melted before the bread browns too much.
Bacon: You’ll need 2-3 slices of bacon for your sandwich and it needs to be already cooked, so please plan accordingly. You can cook it on the stove, in the oven or in the microwave. (That’s what I do when it’s just a couple of slices - takes about 2 to 2 ½ minutes to cook 3 slices.)
Eggs: You also need to scramble your eggs so they are ready to add to your sandwich. I’ve not tried this with a fried egg, but you could certainly give it a shot.
Servings: This recipe makes 1 sandwich or 1 serving. Feel free to make as many as you need!
