  • 2 tablespoons milk dairy-free options work well too
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 pinch pepper
For the Sandwich
  • 4 slices bread (preferably sourdough) whole grain or ciabatta can be used
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese can experiment with other cheeses
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter olive oil can be a good substitute

Equipment

  • whisk
  • spatula

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat and Cook Bacon: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon for about 6-8 minutes until crispy. Transfer to a plate and retain 1 tablespoon of drippings.
  2. Whisk the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper until combined and frothy. Set aside.
  3. Scramble the Eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with bacon grease over medium-low heat. Cook for 3-5 minutes until just set but still moist. Remove from heat.
  4. Assemble the Sandwich: On a cutting board, lay two slices of bread, add shredded cheese, scrambled eggs, and bacon. Top with more cheese and the second slice of bread.
  5. Butter and Grill: Spread butter on the outside of the sandwich. Grill in the skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  6. Rest and Serve: Let the sandwich rest for a minute before slicing. Garnish with chopped chives or green onions if desired.
