  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices of artisan bread or your favorite bread for breakfast grilled cheese
  • 4 large eggs for scramble
  • 6 slices of crispy bacon
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: sliced tomatoes or fresh herbs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by cooking the bacon slices until they’re crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat, add butter, pour in eggs, and gently stir until soft, fluffy curds. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. Place two slices, buttered side down, on a skillet over medium heat. Layer with shredded cheese, scrambled eggs, and crispy bacon. Top with remaining cheese and bread slices, buttered side up.
  4. Cook the sandwiches until golden brown on both sides and the cheese melts, about 3-4 minutes per side. Press gently with a spatula for even grilling. Remove from heat and let sit for a minute before slicing.

Notes

  • Use thick-sliced bread for hearty sandwiches.
  • Add hot sauce or Dijon mustard before grilling for extra flavor.
  • Cook eggs until just set for a soft, fluffy texture that complements melted cheese and bacon.
  • For a healthier option, try turkey bacon or baked chicken sausage.
