Ingredients

• 4 pieces Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 pieces Bread slices (sourdough or thick-cut)
• 1 cup Shredded Mexican cheese blend (cheddar, Monterey Jack, etc.)
• 1 piece Avocado, sliced
• 0.5 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
• 2 teaspoons Hot sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven broiler on high.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well-combined.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 4

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, allowing it to cook gently. Stir occasionally with a spatula to create soft, creamy scrambled eggs. Remove from heat once cooked and set aside.

Step 5

While the eggs are cooking, place the bread slices on a baking sheet and lightly toast them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Step 6

Spread the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter evenly over the warm toasted bread slices.

Step 7

Divide the scrambled eggs evenly among the four slices of bread, spreading them out to cover the surface.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese blend generously on top of the eggs.

Step 9

Place the topped bread slices back under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully transfer the egg melts to serving plates.

Step 11

Top each melt with sliced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro.

Step 12

Drizzle with hot sauce, if desired, and serve immediately.
