_Sips coffee while typing_
Oh. My. Goodness. Ladies and gents, let me tell you about a breakfast creation that literally had my family fighting over the last bite! I’ve been experimenting in the kitchen (as we food-obsessed people do), and I’ve created what I’m calling the Ultimate Breakfast Munchies Grilled Cheese – but trust me, this isn’t your basic grilled cheese!
Picture this: crispy sourdough bread, perfectly golden-brown, stuffed with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, melted cheddar AND gruyere cheese (because why choose just one?), and – here’s the game-changer – a maple-sriracha sauce that’ll make your taste buds dance!
Here’s what you’ll need (I know you’re already running to your kitchen):
– 8 slices sourdough bread
– 6 large eggs
– 8 strips bacon
– 4 slices cheddar cheese
– 4 slices gruyere cheese
– 3 tablespoons butter
– 2 tablespoons maple syrup
– 1 tablespoon sriracha
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional: fresh chives for garnish
Let me walk you through this heavenly process:
1. First, cook your bacon until crispy (I like mine extra crispy – fight me 😉). Set aside on paper towels.
1. While the bacon’s cooking, whisk those eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, mix maple syrup and sriracha – trust your girl on this one!
1. In the same pan (hello, bacon flavor!), scramble your eggs until just set. We want them slightly underdone as they’ll continue cooking in the sandwich.
Y’all, if you’re loving this recipe so far, make sure to follow me on NewsBreak for daily recipe inspiration! I’ve got so many more mouth-watering creations to share with you!
1. Now for assembly (my favorite part!): Butter one side of each bread slice. On the non-buttered side, spread some maple-sriracha sauce, layer cheese, eggs, bacon, more cheese (because duh!).
1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place your assembled sandwiches butter-side down and cook until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes). Flip carefully (we don’t want to lose any of that goodness!) and cook the other side until the cheese is completely melted.
1. Cut diagonally (because we’re fancy), sprinkle with chives if you’re feeling extra, and prepare for breakfast heaven!
Pro tip: Want to make this even more indulgent? Add some sliced avocado or a hash brown in there. I won’t judge – we’re all friends here!
Listen, I’ve made a lot of breakfast recipes in my day, but this one? _chef’s kiss_ It’s the perfect combination of sweet, spicy, and savory. Plus, it’s totally customizable – swap out the cheeses, add some veggies, make it your own!
