Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices bread (sourdough, whole wheat, or your favorite)
- 4 slices cheese (cheddar, american, or swiss)
- 2 large eggs
- 4 strips bacon, cooked crispy
- 1 tbsp butter, divided
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise (optional, for spreading on bread)
- 2 tbsps milk
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Bacon Preparation: Sizzle bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp and golden. Drain on paper towels to remove excess grease.
- Egg Mixture: Whisk eggs with milk, incorporating salt and pepper until thoroughly blended.
- Scrambled Egg Creation: Melt butter in a nonstick pan, pour egg mixture, and gently stir to create creamy, fluffy scrambled eggs. Remove from heat when just set.
- Bread Preparation: Coat bread slices with mayonnaise or softened butter to ensure a perfectly crisp, golden exterior.
- Sandwich Assembly: Position one bread slice butter-side down in a clean skillet. Layer cheese, scrambled eggs, crumbled bacon, and additional cheese. Top with second bread slice, buttered side up.
- Grilling Process: Heat skillet to medium, pressing sandwich gently with a spatula. Cook for 3-4 minutes until bottom turns golden brown and cheese begins to melt.
- Final Browning: Carefully flip sandwich, continuing to cook until both sides achieve a uniform, crispy texture and cheese is completely melted.
- Serving: Remove from heat, slice diagonally, and plate with fresh fruit or hash browns for a complete breakfast experience.
Notes
- Bacon Crispness Control: Cook bacon slowly over medium heat to achieve perfect crunchiness without burning, ensuring a delightful texture in your sandwich.
- Egg Creaminess Technique: Stir eggs gently and remove from heat just before fully setting to maintain a luxurious, soft scrambled texture that melts in your mouth.
- Bread Browning Secret: Use mayonnaise or butter on bread’s exterior for a guaranteed golden-brown, crispy finish that elevates the entire grilled cheese experience.
- Cheese Melting Mastery: Press sandwich gently with spatula during cooking to ensure even heat distribution and complete cheese melting throughout the sandwich.
