Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 Large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for cooking eggs)
Sandwich Assembly
- 8 slices Italian Bread
- 8 slices American Cheese
- 3 tablespoons Butter (for spreading on bread, approximately 1 teaspoon per slice)
Instructions
- 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.
- Remove and keep eggs warm: Transfer the scrambled egg mixture from the skillet to a plate and keep warm for later use.
- 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.
- 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.
- Heat the skillet: Place the skillet back on the stove over medium heat to warm up for cooking the sandwiches.
- 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.
- 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.
