Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 2 tablespoons softened butter
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 4 slices cooked bacon
- 1/2 cup baby spinach
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Cook the Scrambled Eggs: Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and stir gently until the eggs are just set but still moist, then remove from heat to prevent overcooking.
- Butter the Bread: Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread to ensure a golden, crispy texture when grilled.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place two slices of bread butter-side down onto a clean skillet. Layer each with two slices of cheddar cheese, scrambled eggs, cooked bacon slices, and a handful of baby spinach.
- Complete and Grill: Top each open-faced sandwich with the remaining bread slices, butter-side up. Cook over medium-low heat for about 3 to 4 minutes per side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted, adjusting the heat as needed to avoid burning.
- Serve: Remove sandwiches from the skillet, slice if desired, and serve warm for a satisfying breakfast treat.
Notes
- You can swap bacon for sausage or ham as a tasty alternative.
- Pepper jack or Swiss cheese are great substitutes for cheddar and add extra flavor.
- Cooking on medium-low heat helps toast the bread perfectly without burning.
