Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika until fully combined.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Spread the cream cheese evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

  3. 3

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the non-cream cheese side of two slices, layer half of the sharp cheddar cheese, followed by the chopped bacon, then pour half of the egg mixture over the layers.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the First Side

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the layered sandwich in the skillet, cream cheese side up. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.

  2. 5

    Cook the Second Side

    Carefully flip the sandwich and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden and the cheese is melted.

  3. 6

    Repeat with Remaining Ingredients

    Repeat the layering and cooking process with the remaining bread, cheese, bacon, and egg mixture.

Serving

    Once all sandwiches are cooked, slice them in half, garnish with chopped chives and a drizzle of hot sauce if desired. Serve immediately.
