1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
06 -
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
07 -
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully blended. Heat oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add egg mixture and cook, stirring gently, until eggs are softly set and fluffy. Remove from heat and reserve.
02 -
Spread softened butter on one side of each bread slice. Arrange two slices, butter-side down, on a clean surface. Evenly layer half the cheddar and mozzarella on the bread, then distribute scrambled eggs and any desired add-ins over the cheese. Top eggs with remaining cheese and place second bread slice on each sandwich, butter-side facing up.
03 -
Heat a clean skillet over medium heat. Place assembled sandwiches in skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, gently pressing with a spatula, until bread turns golden brown and cheese is melted. Carefully flip to avoid spillage.
04 -
Transfer sandwiches to a plate and let rest for 1 minute. Slice in half and serve hot with preferred breakfast accompaniments.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Use moderate heat to ensure bread toasts evenly while cheese melts thoroughly.
02 -
Combine cheddar and mozzarella for optimal melt and flavor.
03 -
Whisk eggs vigorously and cook gently for extra fluffiness.
04 -
Do not overfill sandwiches to facilitate easy flipping.
05 -
Use a spatula to press sandwiches lightly for even browning.
