Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 2 slices dairy-free cheddar cheese slices
- 2 slices whole-grain sandwich bread
- 1 tablespoon dairy-free butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of dairy-free butter to coat the pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and allow it to cook gently. Stir occasionally with a spatula to scramble the eggs until they are set but still soft, about 3-4 minutes.
Once cooked, transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate and set aside.
Wipe the skillet clean and return to medium heat. Place the slices of whole-grain bread into the skillet and toast each side until golden brown, adding the remaining dairy-free butter if needed.
Top one slice of bread with the scrambled eggs and layer the dairy-free cheddar slices on top. Cover with the second slice of bread.
Cover the skillet with a lid for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese substitutes begin to melt slightly.
Remove the sandwich from the skillet, slice it in half if desired, and serve immediately.
