Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Large eggs
  • 2 Slices of cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
  • 1 English muffin or bagel
  • 1 Tbsp Butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 slice of ham, bacon or a spinach leaves for added flavor

Equipment

  • Non-stick Skillet: For cooking the scrambled eggs and melting the cheese.
  • Spatula: To stir the eggs and flip the sandwich.
  • Whisk or Fork: For beating the eggs.
  • Toaster or Toaster Oven: To toast the English muffin or bagel.
  • Small Bowl: For whisking the eggs.
  • Knife: To cut optional ingredients like ham, bacon, or spinach, and to halve the sandwich if desired.
  • Cutting Board: For preparing any additional ingredients.

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Toast the Bread
    Split your English muffin or bagel in half and toast it until golden brown. Set aside.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Eggs
    Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk until well combined.
    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, pour in the eggs.
    Stir gently with a spatula, allowing the eggs to set but still remain slightly runny. This will create a creamy texture.
  3. Step 3: Assemble the Sandwich
    Place one slice of cheese on the bottom half of the toasted bread.
    Spoon the scrambled eggs on top of the cheese. The heat from the eggs will start melting the cheese.
    Add the second slice of cheese over the eggs, and place any optional ingredients like ham, bacon, or spinach on top.
    Cover with the other half of the toasted bread.
  4. Step 4: Melt the Cheese
    Return the assembled sandwich to the skillet. Press down slightly with a spatula and cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until the cheese is fully melted and the sandwich is heated through.
  5. Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
    Remove from the skillet, cut in half if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich with a side of fresh fruit or a hot cup of coffee.
