Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 pieces Sourdough bread slices
- 1 cup Shredded Mexican cheese blend (cheddar, Monterey Jack, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons Diced tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon Diced jalapeños (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 pinch Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon Cooking spray or additional butter
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and gently scramble until just set but still soft. Remove from heat.
Spread the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in a clean skillet over medium-low heat.
Evenly sprinkle half of the shredded Mexican cheese blend on the bread in the skillet.
Add the scrambled eggs on top of the cheese, followed by the diced tomatoes, jalapeños (if using), cilantro, and a pinch of ground cumin.
Drizzle hot sauce over the filling based on your spice preference.
Top with the remaining cheese and place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side up.
Cook the sandwich on one side until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted, another 3-4 minutes.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it rest for 1-2 minutes, then slice in half and serve warm.
