→ Main ingredients
01 -
4 slices of thick, fluffy Texas toast
02 -
2 slices of pepper jack cheese
03 -
2 slices of Colby Jack cheese
04 -
4 large eggs
05 -
Butter for cooking and spreading
06 -
Salt and pepper, as needed
# Steps:
01 -
Smear one side of each slice with butter, then put them aside on a plate.
02 -
Melt some butter in a pan over low settings. Crack the eggs carefully into the pan, cooking them to the doneness you like best. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, remove from heat, and set aside for later.
03 -
Put a piece of bread, butter-side facing the pan, in a clean skillet. Lay one slice of Colby Jack cheese on top.
04 -
Layer two cooked eggs on the Colby Jack, then put a pepper jack slice on top of the eggs.
05 -
Place another bread slice on top, keeping the buttered side facing up. Put a lid on top of the pan to gently melt the cheese.
06 -
Cook one side until golden and crispy, and the cheese starts softening. Flip it carefully and let the other side cook until it's fully melted and golden too.
07 -
Do the same steps for your second sandwich. Serve them while they're still hot with gooey cheese.
# Notes:
01 -
Thicker Texas toast keeps its structure with the eggs and won’t go mushy.
02 -
Lidding the pan ensures the cheese melts evenly as the bread crisps.
03 -
Make the eggs however you enjoy, but runny yolks give lovely, rich flavor.
04 -
Mixing Colby Jack and pepper jack balances creamy and spicy flavors.
