For the Sandwich

2 large eggs
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon milk
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
2 slices bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
1 slice cheddar or American cheese
Optional: 1 tablespoon mayonnaise or ketchup

👨‍🍳Directions

1Crack the eggs into a small bowl and add the milk.
2Whisk vigorously until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture is slightly frothy, about 30 seconds.
3Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter.
4Let it melt completely and sizzle gently, then pour in the egg mixture.
5Allow the eggs to set for about 20 seconds without stirring.
6Using a spatula, gently push the cooked edges toward the center, tilting the pan to let uncooked egg flow to the edges.
7Continue this process until the eggs are soft and fluffy but still moist, about 2 minutes total.
8Remove the skillet from heat and season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste.
9Stir gently once more to distribute seasoning.
10Toast the bread slices in a toaster or in a separate dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
11If using mayonnaise or ketchup, spread it on one or both slices now.
12Place the slice of cheese on one slice of toasted bread.
13Pile the scrambled eggs on top of the cheese, then cover with the second slice of bread.

My family loves how customizable it is and I love that it comes together with minimal cleanup. If you have leftover scrambled eggs you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.

To reheat just warm them in a pan over low heat or in the microwave for about 30 seconds. For serving, I like to toast fresh bread and add a slice of cheese or a handful of greens.
