Breakfast Grilled Cheese with Eggs (Printer-Friendly)

Melty cheese and soft eggs pressed between golden bread for a hearty and easy morning sandwich.

# List of Ingredients:

→ For the Sandwich

01 - 4 slices sandwich bread (such as sourdough, whole wheat, or brioche)
02 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
03 - 4 large eggs
04 - 2 tablespoons whole milk
05 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
06 - 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
07 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
08 - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
09 - 1 tablespoon chopped chives or green onions (optional)
10 - 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or butter (for cooking eggs)

→ Optional Add-ins

11 - 2 slices cooked turkey bacon or chicken sausage, chopped
12 - 1/4 cup sautéed spinach or mushrooms
13 - 1 small tomato, thinly sliced

# Preparation Steps:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly blended. Heat 1 tablespoon oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, gently stirring with a spatula, until eggs are just set and fluffy. Transfer eggs to a plate and set aside.
02 - Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each bread slice. Arrange two slices, butter-side down, on a clean surface. Distribute half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over the bread. Place the scrambled eggs on top, adding optional chives, sliced tomato, or other add-ins if desired. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the eggs. Top with the remaining bread slices, butter-side up.
03 - Heat a clean non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully transfer sandwiches to the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, pressing lightly with a spatula, until both sides are golden brown and the cheese has melted. Flip gently to avoid spilling filling.
04 - Remove sandwiches from the skillet and let rest for 1 minute. Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately while hot.

# Additional Suggestions:

01 - Combine cheeses for optimal melt and flavor, and whisk eggs thoroughly for extra fluffiness.
02 - Avoid overfilling to make flipping the sandwiches easier and prevent spillage.
03 - Medium heat is ideal; high heat may cause the bread to burn before the cheese fully melts.
