This Scrambled Egg and Cheese Sandwich is a simple, warm breakfast. Fluffy scrambled eggs with melted cheese are packed inside a soft bun, making it a quick and tasty start to your day.
I like to add a little hot sauce or salsa for extra flavor. Sometimes I even slice up some tomatoes or avocado—more colors on my plate and more fun to eat!
For a healthier touch, you can use a whole wheat bun or add some veggies. It’s easy to customize and perfect for a busy morning!
Ingredients & Substitutions
Eggs: Eggs are the base of this sandwich, adding protein and texture. I suggest whisking them well for fluffy eggs. If you want a richer flavor, try adding a splash of milk or cream. For a vegan option, try scrambled tofu instead.
Cheese: Melted cheese brings creaminess and flavor. I like cheddar or American; they melt smoothly. For a milder taste, try mozzarella. Want a healthier swap? Use a reduced-fat cheese or nutritional yeast.
Bread: A sturdy bread like an English muffin or bagel helps hold everything together. I often toast mine for extra crunch. Whole wheat or gluten-free bread works well too, for different dietary needs.
Butter: Butter adds flavor and helps the bread toast to a perfect golden brown. I suggest spreading it on the bread before toasting. You can substitute with margarine or olive oil for a lighter option.
How do I scramble eggs without them turning rubbery?
Use medium-low heat to cook eggs slowly. Stir continuously with a silicone spatula for soft, fluffy curds. Don’t overcook; take them off the heat just before they’re fully set, as residual heat keeps cooking them. Patience makes perfect.
