Ingredients

• 6 Large Eggs

• 8 slices Italian Bread
• 8 slices American Cheese

Instructions

1. Step 1: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until sizzling.

3. Step 3: Remove the scrambled eggs from the skillet and keep warm.
4. Step 4: Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel. Spread about 1 teaspoon of butter on one side of each slice of Italian bread.
5. Step 5: Assemble each sandwich by placing one slice of bread, buttered side down, in the skillet. Top with one slice of American cheese, one-quarter of the scrambled eggs, another slice of cheese, and finish with a second slice of bread, buttered side up.
6. Step 6: Heat the skillet over medium heat and cook two sandwiches at a time, about 4-6 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese melts, flipping once.
7. Step 7: Remove sandwiches from the skillet and keep warm while cooking the remaining sandwiches.

Tips & Variations

• Use sourdough or whole wheat bread for a different flavor and texture.
• Add cooked bacon or sautéed spinach inside for extra taste and nutrition.
• For creamier eggs, stir in a splash of milk or cream before cooking.

Storage

Store leftover sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet over medium heat or in a toaster oven until heated through and the bread is crisp again.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of cheese?

Yes, cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Swiss cheese all melt well and offer great flavor alternatives to American cheese.

How do I prevent the bread from getting soggy?

Make sure to butter the bread generously and cook the sandwiches on medium heat so the bread crisps up nicely before the cheese melts.

Instructions

1. Cook the scrambled eggs: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until sizzling. Add the 6 large eggs and gently lift and stir with a spatula, allowing the uncooked portions to flow underneath. Continue cooking for 4-5 minutes or until the eggs are fully set but still moist.
2. Remove and keep eggs warm: Transfer the scrambled egg mixture from the skillet to a plate and keep warm for later use.
3. Prepare the bread: Carefully wipe out the skillet with a paper towel to remove residual egg. Spread about 1 teaspoon of butter onto one side of each of the 8 slices of Italian bread.
4. Assemble the sandwiches: Place one slice of bread buttered side down on a clean surface. Top it with one slice of American cheese, then add approximately one-quarter of the scrambled eggs, another slice of American cheese, and finally top with a second slice of bread, buttered side up.
5. Heat the skillet: Place the skillet back on the stove over medium heat to warm up for cooking the sandwiches.
6. Cook the sandwiches: Place two assembled sandwiches into the skillet. Cook for 4-6 minutes until the bread turns golden brown and the cheese melts, flipping only once carefully during cooking.
7. Serve and keep warm: Remove the cooked sandwiches from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat the cooking process with the remaining sandwiches.

Notes

• Use a nonstick skillet for easy cooking and cleaning.
• Keep the heat at medium to prevent burning the bread while ensuring the cheese melts properly.
• Wiping the skillet between egg cooking and sandwich grilling helps avoid mixing flavors and burning bits.
• You can substitute American cheese with your favorite melting cheese like cheddar or mozzarella.
• Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
