Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, water, salt and pepper until no streaks remain.

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the eggs and tilt the pan to cover the bottom of skillet. Allow to sit for 30 seconds, then stir gently, until scrambled, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Wipe out the skillet you used to cook the eggs. Melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter over medium high heat.

Use remaining tablespoon of butter to coat one side of each slice of bread.

Place 2 slices of bread, butter side down, in the skillet.

Top each piece of bread with 1 1/2 slices of American cheese, two bacon slices, half of the scrambled eggs and another 1 1/2 slices of cheese.

Top each with remaining slices of bread, butter side up.

Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bread is golden brown. Flip each sandwich and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until golden and cheese is melted.

Remove from the skillet and slice each sandwich in half.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Butter Your Bread Properly 🧈
Spread softened butter on the outside of both bread slices before grilling, not the inside—this ensures even browning and prevents the sandwich from becoming greasy while maximizing that golden crust.
Cook Eggs Low and Slow 🥚
Scramble your eggs on medium-low heat with a splash of water and remove them slightly underdone—they'll continue cooking from residual heat and stay creamy rather than rubbery when assembled.
Pre-Cook Bacon Completely 🥓
Cook bacon until extra-crispy before assembly so it won't release moisture into the sandwich and maintains its crunch even after the grilled cheese is heated through.
Layer Cheese Between Bread and Fillings 🧀
Place one cheese slice directly against each piece of bread before adding eggs and bacon—this creates a protective barrier that melts evenly and keeps fillings from making the bread soggy.
Medium Heat for Even Melting ⏱️
Cook the assembled sandwich on medium heat (not high) for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently—this allows the cheese to melt completely while the bread toasts golden without burning.
