Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love how this sandwich combines rich, creamy eggs with melted cheese for the ultimate comfort bite. It’s made with basic ingredients that I almost always have at home. I also enjoy how easily I can tweak it with my favorite spreads or vegetables to make it my own.
Ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
2 slices of bread
2 eggs
2 slices of cheese
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp mayonnaise
Salt and black pepper to taste
Directions
I whisk the eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
I melt the butter in a nonstick pan over medium heat, then pour in the eggs.
While the eggs are still soft, I place the bread slices on top of the eggs so they stick slightly.
I carefully flip the whole thing, fold the eggs over the bread, and add the cheese on one side.
I toast the sandwich until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Finally, I spread a thin layer of mayonnaise inside before serving warm.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes 1 serving. It usually takes about 10 minutes to prepare and cook — 3 minutes for prep and 7 minutes for cooking. Perfect for a quick breakfast or snack.
Variations
I sometimes add sliced tomatoes, spinach, or avocado for extra freshness. For a little kick, I like to sprinkle chili flakes or drizzle a bit of hot sauce. Using whole-grain, sourdough, or brioche bread also gives a nice twist to the flavor and texture.
Storage/Reheating
I prefer eating this sandwich fresh, but if I need to store it, I wrap it in foil or an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 1 day. To reheat, I use a pan or toaster oven to bring back the crispiness — microwaving can make it soggy.
FAQs
How can I make this sandwich without flipping it?
I can cook the eggs separately, then assemble the sandwich by layering the eggs and cheese between the toasted bread slices.
Can I use different types of cheese?
Yes, I often use cheddar, mozzarella, or even pepper jack depending on what I have. Each adds a slightly different flavor and texture.
Is it possible to make it dairy-free?
Definitely. I can use plant-based butter and dairy-free cheese alternatives for a similar taste and texture.
Can I make this in advance?
I can prepare the ingredients ahead, but I recommend cooking the sandwich right before eating so the bread stays crispy and the cheese melty.
What kind of bread works best?
I like using white, whole wheat, or brioche bread. A slightly thicker slice gives a better texture and holds the filling nicely.
Conclusion
This Cheesy Egg Sandwich is the kind of simple meal that never disappoints. I love how quick it is to make and how satisfying every bite feels. Whether I’m rushing out the door or enjoying a slow weekend morning, this sandwich always hits the spot with its warm, cheesy, and perfectly toasted goodness.
