Step 1 – Prep the Bread
- Spread a thin, even layer of butter on one side of each bread slice. This will be the outer side that toasts beautifully golden.
- Place the buttered sides facing down on a cutting board.
Step 2 – Cook the Eggs
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.
- Crack the eggs into the pan and cook them to your liking:
- Sunny-side up for a runny yolk.
- Over-easy for a slightly cooked yolk.
- Scrambled if you want a softer texture inside your sandwich.
- Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3 – Build the Sandwich
- On the unbuttered side of one bread slice, place a layer of cheese.
- Add your cooked eggs on top of the cheese.
- If you’re using extras like bacon or spinach, add them now.
- Top with another layer of cheese for extra meltiness.
- Place the second bread slice on top, buttered side facing out.
Step 4 – Grill to Perfection
- Heat a clean skillet over medium-low heat.
- Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
- Lower heat if needed to avoid burning the bread before the cheese melts.
Step 5 – Serve and Enjoy
- Transfer the sandwich to a cutting board and let it rest for 1 minute before slicing — this keeps the cheese from spilling out too much.
- Slice in half for that irresistible cheese-pull moment.
- Serve hot with coffee, juice, or fresh fruit on the side.
Pro Tips for the Best Breakfast Grilled Cheese Eggs
- Use shredded cheese for faster melting.
- Cook on medium-low heat to ensure even toasting and melting without burning.
- Experiment with bread types — sourdough gives a tangy bite, brioche adds sweetness, and whole wheat boosts fiber.
- Make it ahead: Cook the eggs and assemble the sandwich the night before, then grill it in the morning.
