Time
Prep: 5 minutes
Cook: 8–10 minutes
Total: 13–15 minutes
Ingredients
(1 Sandwich)
Eggs: 1–2 large eggs
Bread: 2 slices sourdough, Texas toast, or whole wheat
Cheese: About 1/3 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar-Jack, mozzarella, or cheddar) or 1–2 slices
Milk: 2 tablespoons
Butter or oil: For cooking and grilling
Seasoning: Salt and pepper
Optional Mediterranean Add-Ons
Sliced tomatoes
Fresh spinach or arugula
Minced parsley
A small pinch of garlic powder
A spoonful of crumbled feta
Avocado slices
A splash of hot sauce
Instructions
Prepare the eggs
Crack the eggs into a bowl.
Add milk, salt and pepper.
Whisk until smooth and lightly frothy.
Cook soft scrambled eggs
Heat a small pan with a little butter or oil.
Pour in the egg mixture.
Stir gently over low heat until the eggs turn soft, creamy and slightly set.
Remove from heat so they don’t overcook.
Assemble the sandwich
Butter the outside of both bread slices.
Place one slice butter-side down in a pan.
Layer cheese on the inside.
Add the scrambled eggs on top.
Add any Mediterranean extras such as tomatoes, spinach or feta.
Add more cheese if you want a stretchier melt.
Top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up.
Grill
Cook the sandwich over medium-low heat.
Press lightly with a spatula as it cooks.
Grill 2–3 minutes per side until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted.
Serve
Let it rest for 1 minute before cutting so the fillings stay in place.
Tips
Use low heat for the eggs so they stay creamy. High heat dries them out.
Add cheese on both sides for maximum melt and to help glue the sandwich together.
Choose a sturdy bread so the fillings don’t leak or make it soggy.
Spinach and tomatoes should be thinly sliced to keep the texture balanced.
If using feta, mix a spoonful into the eggs right after cooking for better flavor.
Toast slowly to avoid burning the bread before the cheese melts.

Q&A
Can I make this with egg whites only?
Yes. Use 3 egg whites and reduce the milk to 1 tablespoon.
Which cheese melts the best?
Mozzarella and Cheddar-Jack melt the smoothest, while cheddar gives strong flavor.
Can I air fry it?
Yes. Assemble the sandwich and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for about 5–6 minutes, flipping halfway.
Can I meal prep the fillings?
You can cook the scrambled eggs ahead of time, but the sandwich tastes best freshly grilled.
What bread works best?
Sourdough, Texas toast or a thick country loaf. Thin bread tends to break.
