Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2 large flour tortillas or 4 slices sandwich bread
- 100 grams shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 tablespoons salsa
Egg Filling
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons cooked bacon bits
For Grilling
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, beat the eggs until smooth and fluffy. Add cooked bacon bits and mix well.
- Scramble Eggs: Heat a frying pan over medium heat, melt a small portion of butter, then gently scramble the egg and bacon mixture until just cooked through. Remove from pan.
- Assemble Sandwich: Evenly spread the scrambled eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, and salsa onto one tortilla or two slices of bread. Top with the remaining tortilla or bread to form a sandwich.
- Butter the Outside: Spread the outsides of the tortillas or bread with the remaining butter to ensure a golden, crispy crust.
- Grill the Sandwich: Heat a frying pan over medium heat and grill the sandwich for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- Serve: Remove from heat, let cool for a minute, slice into halves or wedges, and serve hot.
Notes
- Add sliced avocado or jalapeños inside before grilling for extra flavor and zing.
- Use low heat when scrambling eggs to keep them tender and creamy.
- Butter the outside generously but evenly to achieve the perfect golden crunch.
- Leftovers can be wrapped tightly and refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat on a pan to keep crispiness.
- For freezing, assemble uncooked sandwiches and freeze wrapped; cook from frozen using low heat.
- Substitute turkey bacon, sausage, or vegetarian options such as sautéed mushrooms and spinach.
