Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich
- 2 slices bread (your choice)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp milk (optional, for fluffier eggs)
- 1/2 tsp chili powder or hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp butter or oil for cooking
Optional Toppings
- Sliced jalapeños or hot pepper flakes for extra heat
Instructions
- Toast Bread: Toast the bread slices until they are golden brown and set them aside to be used later.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (if using), chili powder or hot sauce, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Heat Skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and add the butter or oil, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
- Scramble Eggs: Pour the seasoned egg mixture into the skillet and gently scramble, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just cooked through but still moist and tender.
- Add Cheddar Cheese: Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar over the eggs, letting it melt slightly from the residual heat.
- Spread Cream Cheese: Evenly spread the softened cream cheese over one slice of the toasted bread to add a creamy base layer.
- Assemble Sandwich: Spoon the scrambled eggs topped with melted cheddar onto the cream cheese-spread toast.
- Optional Heat: Add sliced jalapeños or sprinkle hot pepper flakes on top of the eggs if you desire extra spiciness.
- Finish Sandwich: Place the second slice of toasted bread on top, press gently, and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Using milk in the eggs makes the scramble fluffier but is optional.
- Adjust the chili powder or hot sauce to suit your preferred spice level.
- For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like chives or parsley.
- The sandwich is best served immediately to enjoy the melted cheddar and creamy texture.
- You can substitute the bread with gluten-free or low-carb alternatives if desired.
