Instructions
Making the Ultimate Breakfast Grilled Cheese with Scrambled Eggs and Bacon is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to create a delicious breakfast masterpiece:
1. Cook the Bacon: In a frying pan over medium heat, cook the slices of bacon until crispy. Once done, transfer them to a paper towel to drain excess grease.
2. Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them with salt and pepper until well combined. In the same frying pan used for bacon (remove excess grease if desired), pour the eggs over medium-low heat, gently scrambling them until they are just set but still soft.
3. Prepare the Bread: While the eggs are cooking, butter one side of each slice of bread.
4. Assemble the Sandwich: On the unbuttered side of two slices of bread, layer half of the cheese, followed by scrambled eggs, bacon, and the rest of the cheese. Top with another slice of bread, with the buttered side facing out.
5. Cook the Sandwich: In the frying pan over medium heat, place the sandwich. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Flip and repeat on the other side.
6. Serve: Once both sides are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling, remove the sandwich from the pan. Allow it to cool slightly before cutting in half.
7. Garnish (Optional): If desired, serve with hot sauce, slices of avocado, or a simple green salad on the side.
