Ingredients

Scale

 

For the Breakfast Toaster Sandwich:

  • 2 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, sourdough, or brioche)
  • 1 large egg (scrambled or fried)
  • 1 slice of cheese (cheddar, Swiss, American, or your choice)
  • 1 tbsp butter or mayo (for extra crispiness)
  • 2 slices of bacon, ham, or sausage (optional)
  • ½ avocado, mashed (optional)
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Optional Add-Ins:

  • Caramelized onions (for a hint of sweetness)
  • Spinach or arugula (for a fresh crunch)
  • Sriracha or hot sauce (for a spicy kick)
  • Tomato slices (for juiciness)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients:

  1. Preheat your sandwich toaster or panini press. If using a skillet, set it to medium heat.
  2. Butter one side of each slice of bread for a crispy, golden texture.
  3. Cook the eggs to your liking (scrambled, fried, or poached). Season with salt and pepper.
  4. If using bacon or sausage, cook until crispy and set aside.

2. Assemble the Sandwich:

  1. Place one buttered slice of bread (butter-side down) in the sandwich toaster or skillet.
  2. Add a slice of cheese directly on the bread (this ensures perfect melting).
  3. Layer on the cooked eggs, bacon, ham, or sausage.
  4. Spread mashed avocado or add any extra toppings like spinach or tomato.
  5. Top with the second slice of bread, butter-side up.

3. Toast the Sandwich to Perfection:

  • If using a sandwich toaster: Close the toaster and cook for 3-5 minutes until golden brown.
  • If using a skillet: Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing down gently with a spatula until the bread is crisp and the cheese is melted.

4. Serve & Enjoy:

  • Let the sandwich cool for 1 minute, then slice and serve immediately.
  • Pair it with fresh fruit, a smoothie, or coffee for a complete breakfast.

Notes

Extra Crispy Hack: Use mayonnaise instead of butter for a crispier, tangier crust.
Low-Carb Option: Swap the bread for a low-carb wrap or use lettuce wraps.
Vegan Version: Use tofu scramble, dairy-free cheese, and plant-based butter.
Make-Ahead Friendly: Assemble the sandwich and refrigerate overnight, then toast in the morning.

Enjoy your crispy, cheesy breakfast toaster sandwich—the perfect start to any day! 🥪✨
