Ingredients

• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 pinch Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 pieces Sourdough bread slices
• 1 cup Shredded Mexican cheese blend (cheddar, Monterey Jack, etc.)
• 2 tablespoons Diced tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon Diced jalapeños (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro leaves
• 1 pinch Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Hot sauce
• 1 teaspoon Cooking spray or additional butter

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and gently scramble until just set but still soft. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Spread the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter evenly on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

Step 4

Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in a clean skillet over medium-low heat.

Step 5

Evenly sprinkle half of the shredded Mexican cheese blend on the bread in the skillet.

Step 6

Add the scrambled eggs on top of the cheese, followed by the diced tomatoes, jalapeños (if using), cilantro, and a pinch of ground cumin.

Step 7

Drizzle hot sauce over the filling based on your spice preference.

Step 8

Top with the remaining cheese and place the second slice of bread on top, buttered side up.

Step 9

Cook the sandwich on one side until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwich and cook the other side until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted, another 3-4 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the sandwich from the skillet, let it rest for 1-2 minutes, then slice in half and serve warm.
