Grilled Cheese Breakfast (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Morning Fixings
01 -
4 big eggs, super fresh
02 -
6 bacon slices, fried to a crisp
03 -
2 tablespoons milk for creamier scrambled eggs
→ Bread and Cheese Base
04 -
4 hearty sourdough slices
05 -
4 tablespoons butter, softened to spread easily
06 -
8 slices cheddar or 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheese
→ Flavor Extras
07 -
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
# Instructions:
01 -
Cook the bacon in a skillet until it's crispy just right. Cool it off on paper towels so it stays crunchy without extra grease.
02 -
Mix the eggs with milk and pepper until they're nicely combined. Use the bacon fat in the skillet to slowly cook the mixture, stirring now and then for light, fluffy scrambled eggs.
03 -
Spread cheese on all bread slices. Add bacon and scrambled eggs between two slices of cheesy bread, then top them with the rest.
04 -
Coat the outside of the sandwich with butter. Get your skillet warmed up over medium heat and ready to grill.
05 -
Lay the sandwich in the skillet, butter side down. Press it lightly, cook for 3-4 minutes, then butter the other side, flip carefully, and cook another 3-4 minutes until golden and crunchy.
06 -
Let the sandwich sit for a moment, then slice it diagonally. Relish it warm and gooey with your favorite dip or condiment on the side.
# Notes:
01 -
Sourdough holds its shape well and has a deliciously crispy texture.
02 -
If cooking takes too long or browns too much, lower the heat and let the cheese melt gradually.
03 -
Try switching sourdough for rye, ciabatta, or other rugged bread varieties for a twist.
