I love everything about this sandwich. What’s not to like, Bread, Eggs, Melted cheese and Butter, yum! It’s good for anytime of the day, be it for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, or even as a snack.
This is also my go to recipe on days when I dont feel like cooking, but at the same time, feel guilty for ordering from outside. I think I’ve listed enough reasons why I like this sandwich, so here you go with the recipe..
Grilled Egg and Cheese Sandwich
Author: Maria Jose Martin
Recipe type: Breakafst, Brunch, Lunch, Dinner, Snack
Cuisine: Continental
Serves: 1
Ingredients
- Bread - 2 slices (White/Brown/Multigrain Sandwich bread)
- Egg - 1-2 (refer notes)
- Cheese slice - 1-2 (I used cheddar cheese slice)
- Butter
Instructions
- Make eggs as per your liking and keep it aside (refer notes). Butter one side of each slice of bread.
- Heat the non stick pan to a low temperature and place one slice of bread, buttered side down on the pan. Top it with a slice of cheese. Place the cooked egg on top of the cheese slice. Add another slice of cheese, if using.
- Finally add the second slice of bread, buttered side up. Cook on low-medium for 2-3 mins or until bottom is golden brown and crisp and the cheese is starting to melt. Carefully flip the sandwich to brown the other side and the cheese is completely melted.
Notes
I usually make fried egg, but I break the yolk and let it cook completely. You can make a fried egg with a runny yolk or you can make scrambled eggs. I usually use 1 whole egg and 1 egg white.
You can also use bacon, mushrooms etc as extra toppings. I also like to use American cheese to make this sandwich.
