Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 pieces Thick slices of bread (brioche or sourdough recommended)
- 0.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack two eggs into a bowl and whisk with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper. Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Scramble the eggs until they are just set and creamy. Remove from heat, stir in the shredded cheese, and set aside.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the remaining two eggs, milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into one side of each slice of bread, being careful not to cut all the way through. Spoon an equal amount of the scrambled egg and cheese mixture into each pocket, gently pressing the bread closed around the filling.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the remaining butter.
Dip each stuffed slice of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly but without oversaturating. Let any excess mixture drip off.
Place the dipped slices onto the hot skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Garnish with fresh chives, if using, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Egg Filled French Toast warm!
