Ezoic
These sandwiches go great with fruit salad a simple green salad or crispy hash browns For a fun twist add slices of fresh tomato or avocado before grilling When we have guests I sometimes serve these on small sourdough rolls as breakfast sliders with sriracha mayo on the side
Cultural Context
Grilled cheese sandwiches are beloved American comfort food and making them for breakfast with eggs and meat feels like a perfect marriage of diner classics The combination of eggs meat and bread is a common tradition but this layering reimagines them with a melty gooey twist
Pro Tips
Always cook the bread low and slow for perfect golden crunch
Let the sandwich rest before slicing to help the cheese set
For maximum melty cheese use two slices per sandwich and do not skimp on butter
