Scrambled Egg Sandwich

This delicious Scrambled Egg Sandwich is piled with creamy scrambled eggs, melty mozzarella, and fresh herbs that makes a quick and convenient meal to make at home or take to go. It’s a very simple recipe, but we’ll provide some tips to make this iconic breakfast dish and the different variations you can make!

This Scrambled Egg Sandwich is the perfect go-to breakfast for those busy mornings when you need to have breakfast on the go or for those lazy weekend mornings where you want a simple but nourishing meal. Like the best of comfort foods, it’s not fancy and doesn’t require a lot of time or special skills to whip up. And the payoff is great: ooey, gooey cheese melting into creamy scrambled eggs and fresh parsley to tantalize the taste buds.

What we love the most about this sandwich is how simple it is on its own, but also how it can easily accompany other ingredients that you want to add to your breakfast sandwich. You can add other toppings such as avocado, lettuce, tomato, crispy bacon, you name it! But the most important part is getting the scrambled eggs right and then building from there.

Why you’ll love this recipe

• Quick and easy to make: Toast the bread, scramble the eggs, assemble the sandwiches — all in 10 minutes. It’s that simple!
• Customizable: Although delicious on its own, this sandwich can also be customized to your preferences and is incredibly versatile. Plus you’re able to make them with more wholesome ingredients than the average breakfast sandwich you can get in a fast food restaurant.
• Family-friendly: There’s something comforting and delicious about cheesy scrambled eggs over butter and bread. The whole family will love these sandwiches, even the pickiest of eaters!

Ingredients needed

• Eggs: The main star of the recipe. You’ll need 3 large eggs to make 2 sandwiches. You can easily use more for additional sandwiches!
• Shredded cheese: Since we’re mixing the cheese along with the eggs before scrambling together in a pan, we recommend using shredded cheese instead of sliced. Our favorite is mozzarella, but you can easily swap for another cheese of your choice!
• Bread: We use sliced brioche in this recipe, but any bread will work — sourdough, multigrain, whole wheat, an English muffin, or bagel. We also recommend lightly toasting so that the bread can support the cheese and eggs.
• Toppings of choice (optional): If you want to take this sandwich to the next level, you can add other toppings as well! Avocado, arugula, spinach, lettuce, tomato, and cooked meat like ham or bacon make great additions.

Tips and tricks

1. Use medium-low to low heat to cook the scrambled eggs. Low and slow is the way to go. If needed, take the pan off the heat before the eggs are finished cooking.
2. Keep the eggs moving. Stir them frequently in the pan to get that lovely, creamy curd-like texture instead of rubbery, crisp edges.

How to make a scrambled egg sandwich

1. Beat the eggs and cheese: In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and shredded cheese together until well-combined. Add a pinch of salt to the mixture.
2. Scramble eggs: While the bread is toasting, heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and melt butter. Add the beaten egg mixture and cook until scrambled.
3. Assemble the sandwich: Spread each bread slice with melted butter and top with the egg and cheese mixture. You can also add other desired toppings at this stage. Garnish with some fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
