INSTRUCTIONS
How to Make The Best Scrambled Egg Sandwich
STEP ONE: Prepare the Eggs
In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs, and add 1 tablespoon of heavy cream. Whisk them until well combined.
STEP TWO: Cook the Eggs
Heat a non-stick skillet over low to medium-low heat and add the unsalted butter. Once the butter melts, pour the whisked eggs into the pan.
Gently move the eggs around the pan with a rubber spatula. Continually stir until the eggs become creamy and fluffy.
Season the scrambled eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, adjusting to your taste preferences. Remove the eggs from the heat just before they are fully cooked. *Note: The residual heat will finish cooking them.
STEP THREE: Assemble the Sandwich
Toast the bread slices until golden brown. Take the toasted sourdough bread slices and spread mayonnaise on one side of each slice.
Divide the creamy scrambled eggs equally between the two slices of bread. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
STEP FOUR: Serve and Enjoy!
Place one slice of bread on top of the other, creating a delicious sandwich. Slice the sandwich and serve it hot.

TOP TIPS
How to Make the Best Scrambled Eggs
- Use Fresh Eggs - Start with fresh, high-quality eggs for the best results. Fresh eggs have firmer whites and more vibrant yolks, which will enhance the overall texture and flavor of the scrambled eggs.
- Add a Splash of Cream - For extra creaminess and richness, consider adding a small amount of heavy cream to the beaten eggs before cooking.
- Whisk Eggs Thoroughly - Whisk the eggs well in a bowl until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
- Use Unsalted Butter or Olive Oil - Add a knob of unsalted butter or olive oil to the pan before adding the eggs.
- Low and Slow Cooking - Cook the scrambled eggs over low to medium-low heat. This slow cooking process prevents the eggs from becoming dry and rubbery.
- Constantly Stir - Stir the eggs gently and continuously with a rubber spatula while they cook. This ensures even cooking and prevents any bits from sticking to the pan.
- Season in the End - Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper right at the end of cooking.
- Remove from Heat a Little Early - Remove the eggs from the heat just before they are fully cooked. The residual heat will finish cooking them. Plate and serve immediately.
