Prepare the Scrambled Eggs:
Begin by cracking 4 whole eggs into a bowl and whisking them thoroughly until light and frothy. Set aside. -
-
Cook the Scrambled Eggs:
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a preheated pan over medium heat. Once the butter has melted and is hot, pour the whisked eggs into the pan. Stir gently as the eggs begin to cook. Keep stirring occasionally, but avoid over-stirring to prevent them from becoming dry. When the eggs are almost fully set, remove them from the heat. -
Add Flavors:
Immediately add 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh dill leaves (or mint/coriander if you prefer) and 2 tablespoons of Britannia Roasted Garlic Cheese Spread to the eggs. Stir well to combine. The cheese spread will melt into the eggs, creating a creamy, flavorful base. Set the scrambled eggs aside. -
Assemble the Sandwich:
While the scrambled eggs are cooling slightly, preheat your grilling pan. While it heats, lay out the bread slices. On one slice of bread, spoon a generous amount of scrambled eggs, spreading them evenly. Then, place a slice of Britannia Cheese on top of the eggs. Cover the sandwich with another slice of bread. -
Butter and Grill:
Spread softened butter on the outside of both slices of bread. Place the sandwich on the preheated grill pan with the buttered side down. Grill the sandwich on medium heat, flipping once to ensure both sides are golden brown and crispy. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side. -
Serve:
Once your sandwich is perfectly golden and crispy, remove it from the grill and place it on a plate. Cut into halves or quarters for easier serving. For the perfect breakfast or brunch experience, serve with a side of fresh homemade orange juice and a dollop of ketchup for dipping.
Tips for Perfect Scrambled Eggs:
- Avoid Overcooking: If you continue to cook the eggs once they are set, they will turn dry and rubbery. For soft, fluffy scrambled eggs, stop cooking as soon as they form large, soft curds.
- Butter Makes a Difference: Using butter, either in the eggs or for grilling, helps the sandwich achieve a rich, delicious flavor and a golden-brown finish.
- Customize Your Cheese: Feel free to swap the Britannia Roasted Garlic Cheese Spread with another type of cheese spread or a simple cheese slice of your choice if you prefer a different flavor.
This Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Scrambled Eggs is a great way to enjoy a hearty breakfast with minimal effort. The combination of soft scrambled eggs, savory cheese, and warm, toasty bread is irresistible. Perfect for any day of the week, it will surely become a staple in your breakfast repertoire!
