The Best Cafe-Style Egg Sandwich

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs, preferably farm-fresh for optimal flavor and nutrition
• 2 tablespoons milk or cream, use whole milk for a richer taste
• Salt and pepper to taste, freshly ground for enhanced flavor
• 1 tablespoon butter, unsalted for better control of seasoning
• 2 slices of your choice of bread (sourdough, whole grain, or brioche work well)
• 1/4 avocado, sliced (optional)
• 2 slices of cheese (cheddar, gouda, or your favorite)
• Fresh herbs (like chives or parsley) for garnish

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
3. Pour in the egg mixture and let it cook undisturbed for about 1 minute until it begins to set around the edges.
4. Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing them from the edges toward the center.
5. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3-4 minutes or until the eggs are softly scrambled and slightly runny.
6. Toast the bread slices in a toaster or on another skillet until golden brown and crispy.
7. Place one slice of toasted bread on a plate. Layer with cheese, followed by the creamy egg filling.
8. If using, add the sliced avocado on top and finish with the second slice of bread.
9. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh herbs for added flavor and visual appeal. Cut the sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately.
