Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons whole milk
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 cheddar cheese slices
• 2 whole grain bread slices
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 2 lettuce leaves
• 2 tomato slices

Directions

Step 1

Start by cracking the eggs into a bowl, add the whole milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until it is well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter is melted and begins to bubble, pour in the egg mixture.

Step 3

Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until they begin to set on the bottom. Then, gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing from the edges to the center, allowing the uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.

Step 4

Continue to cook until the eggs are just set but still creamy. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 5

Place one slice of cheddar cheese over the eggs and let it melt slightly from the residual heat.

Step 6

Meanwhile, toast the slices of whole grain bread to your desired level of crunchiness.

Step 7

Spread mayonnaise evenly over one side of each toasted bread slice.

Step 8

Assemble the sandwich by placing the melted cheese and eggs onto one slice of prepared bread (mayonnaise side up).

Step 9

Top the eggs with lettuce leaves and tomato slices.

Step 10

Place the remaining slice of bread on top, mayonnaise side down, and gently press the sandwich together.

Step 11

Cut the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately.
