A hearty and delicious Breakfast Grilled Cheese sandwich combining crispy bacon, softly scrambled eggs, melted cheddar cheese, and buttery sourdough bread, perfect for a satisfying morning meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Bacon and Eggs

  • 6 strips bacon
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Sandwich

  • 8 slices cheddar cheese (or 1 1/2 cups shredded)
  • 4 thick slices sourdough bread
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Cook Bacon: Fry bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and transfer to paper towels to drain excess grease.
  2. Scramble Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and black pepper. Using the leftover bacon grease, cook the egg mixture over medium-low heat, stirring gently, until softly scrambled and just set. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Assemble Sandwiches: On each slice of sourdough bread, place two slices of cheddar cheese. On two of these slices, layer the crispy bacon strips and scrambled eggs before topping with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
  4. Butter and Cook Sandwiches: Spread softened butter on the top sides of each sandwich. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and place sandwiches butter-side down. Butter the other side once the sandwich is in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  5. Serve: Serve the breakfast grilled cheese sandwiches warm with your choice of dipping sauces such as ketchup or hot sauce.

Notes

  • Use thick slices of sourdough bread for the best texture and flavor.
  • For a lighter version, use turkey bacon or reduce the butter amount.
  • Feel free to add your favorite herbs like chives or parsley to the scrambled eggs for extra flavor.
  • You can substitute cheddar cheese with your preferred melting cheese such as Swiss or Monterey Jack.
