Can I use a different type of bread?

While sourdough adds a unique flavor and texture, you can substitute it with other sturdy bread like whole grain, rye, or even a crusty baguette. Just be sure the bread can hold up to the fillings without getting soggy.

Can I make this sandwich without a skillet?

If you don’t have a skillet, you can use a griddle or even a non-stick frying pan. An electric griddle works well too, especially if you’re making multiple sandwiches at once.

Can I add meat to this sandwich?

Yes! Thin slices of turkey, ham, or cooked bacon make excellent additions. For a heartier option, consider using a lean protein like grilled chicken or turkey sausage.

How can I make this sandwich vegan?

To make this sandwich vegan, use a plant-based butter spread and cheese, and substitute scrambled eggs with a tofu scramble or a chickpea flour omelet. You can also make the sauce with vegan mayonnaise and ketchup

What can I use instead of butter to grill the sandwich?

Try using olive oil, avocado oil, or a dairy-free butter spread. Coconut oil can also be a great alternative.

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Prepare the Sauce: Mix the mayonnaise and ketchup in a small bowl.

Heat the Skillet: Start by heating your skillet over medium heat. This is key for getting that golden, crispy finish on your sourdough without burning it.

Scramble the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and whisk until well combined. Melt half of the butter in the skillet, then pour in the eggs. Stir continuously with a spatula to create soft, fluffy scrambled eggs. Once cooked, remove them from the skillet and set them aside.

Assemble the Sandwich: Make sure your skillet is clean and then melt the remaining butter. Place one slice of sourdough in the skillet and top it with

shredded cheese,
eggs,
more shredded cheese,
sauce.

If you're feeling fancy, this is the moment to add spinach, and tomatoes, for a healthier twist.

Grill the Sandwich: Close the sandwich and then butter the second slice of sourdough with butter on the outside. Grill the sandwich in the skillet over medium heat until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Flip carefully and repeat on the other side.

TOP TIP - PRESS DOWN FOR EVEN COOKING: Use a spatula or heavy lid from a pot to press down lightly on the sandwich while it’s grilling. This helps everything melt together and ensures even browning.

Serve and Enjoy: Slice your Sourdough Breakfast Sandwich in half, serve with the sauce on the side, and dig in!
