Description
A warm, gooey breakfast sandwich that layers fluffy scrambled eggs, sharp cheddar, and silky cream cheese with a gentle kick of hot sauce on lightly toasted bread. Comforting, creamy, and just spicy enough.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 4 slices sourdough or soft sandwich bread, lightly toasted
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Warm a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly toast the bread slices until just golden.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper until frothy and well combined.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Add the butter to the hot skillet and let it melt until just foamy.
- Assemble the Dish: Pour in the eggs and gently stir with a spatula. When they are softly set, fold in the shredded cheddar and hot sauce.
- Cook to Perfection: Continue cooking on medium low heat, stirring gently, until the cheese melts and the eggs are creamy and just set.
- Finishing Touches: Spread the softened cream cheese on the toasted bread. Spoon the cheesy eggs over one slice and sprinkle with chopped chives.
- Serve and Enjoy: Cap with the second slice of toast, slice in half if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- Tip: Use room temperature cream cheese so it spreads smoothly and melds with the warm eggs.
- Tip: Freshly shredded cheddar melts creamier than pre-shredded.
- Tip: Keep the heat medium low to prevent rubbery eggs.
- Tip: Adjust hot sauce to taste for mild or bolder heat.
