This Breakfast Grilled Cheese with Eggs and Cheese is a warm, comforting sandwich featuring soft scrambled eggs and melty Colby-Jack cheese between two slices of buttery, golden-grilled sourdough. It’s an easy, satisfying way to start the day.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 sandwiches

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs, beaten
  • 8 slices Colby-Jack cheese
  • 4 tablespoons soft butter, divided
  • 8 slices sourdough bread

Instructions

  1. In a non-stick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add beaten eggs and scramble gently until just set. Remove from heat.
  2. Butter one side of each slice of bread. Place one slice, buttered side down, in a skillet. Top with 1 slice of cheese, a scoop of scrambled eggs, another slice of cheese, and a second slice of bread (buttered side up).
  3. Cook each sandwich over medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
  4. Let the sandwich rest for 1 minute before cutting in half. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Try different cheeses like pepper jack, Swiss, or mozzarella for variety.
  • Add veggies like sautéed spinach, tomatoes, or mushrooms.
  • Mix a splash of cream into eggs for extra richness.
  • Lightly toast bread before assembling for extra crunch.
  • Cut into quarters for mini brunch sliders.
