Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Crack and Whisk Eggs

    In a mixing bowl, crack open the 4 eggs and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined.

  2. 2

    Prepare Cheese

    Grate or chop the cheddar cheese so that it is ready to mix with the scrambled eggs.

Cooking Directions

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a non-stick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until it starts to bubble.

  2. 4

    Scramble the Eggs

    Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Stir gently with a spatula while cooking, allowing the eggs to set slightly before stirring again.

  3. 5

    Add Cheese

    Once the eggs are almost fully cooked but still slightly runny, add 1 cup of cheddar cheese, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 6

    Toast the Bread

    While the eggs are cooking, toast 2 slices of your chosen bread until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Build the Sandwich

    Place a generous portion of the scrambled egg and cheese mixture on one slice of toasted bread, then top it with the other slice of bread.

  3. 8

    Serve

    Cut the sandwich in half if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious egg and cheese sandwich!
