Ingredients
– 2 slices of bread (your choice: white, whole grain, or sourdough)
– 2 slices of cheese (such as cheddar, Swiss, or American)
– 1 large egg
– 2 slices of cooked bacon (optional)
– 1 tablespoon of butter
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh herbs (like chives or parsley, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Creating the perfect Breakfast Grilled Cheese requires just a few simple steps:
1. Heat the Pan: Begin by placing a skillet over medium heat.
2. Prepare the Egg: In a small bowl, crack the egg and whisk it with a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Cook the Egg: Pour the egg into the hot skillet, scrambling it until fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
4. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. On the unbuttered side of one slice, layer one slice of cheese, followed by the scrambled egg and bacon (if using). Top with another slice of cheese, then place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side up.
5. Cook the Sandwich: Place the sandwich in the skillet. Cook until the bread is golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip the Sandwich: Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese has melted, another 2-3 minutes.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the skillet, and if desired, sprinkle fresh herbs on top before cutting it in half for easy eating.
Following these steps will result in a delicious and perfectly melted Breakfast Grilled Cheese every time.
