Ingredients
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:
- Preheat your sandwich toaster or panini press. If using a skillet, set it to medium heat.
- Butter one side of each slice of bread for a crispy, golden texture.
- Cook the eggs to your liking (scrambled, fried, or poached). Season with salt and pepper.
- If using bacon or sausage, cook until crispy and set aside.
2. Assemble the Sandwich:
- Place one buttered slice of bread (butter-side down) in the sandwich toaster or skillet.
- Add a slice of cheese directly on the bread (this ensures perfect melting).
- Layer on the cooked eggs, bacon, ham, or sausage.
- Spread mashed avocado or add any extra toppings like spinach or tomato.
- 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! 🥪✨
