Equipment

  • Medium Nonstick Skillet
  • Rubber Spatula
  • Plate

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 slices sourdough sandwich bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 slices American, Monterey Jack, or Pepper Jack cheese

Instructions
 

  • Let 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter sit at room temperature until softened. Spread onto one side of 2 slices of sourdough bread.
  • Whisk 2 large eggs and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt together in a medium bowl until combined.
  • Melt the remaining 1 teaspoon butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture. Using a rubber spatula, scramble the eggs, stirring occasionally and pushing the cooked parts from the edges of the pan to the center, until they are just set but not dry. Transfer the eggs to a plate.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and wipe the pan clean. Place 1 bread slice butter-side down into the pan. Top with 2 slices of cheese, the scrambled eggs, and then the remaining 2 slices of cheese. Close the sandwich with the remaining bread slice butter-side up. Press the sandwich slightly to close.
