Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Eggs:
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 6 large eggs
Bread and Cheese:
- 8 slices white bread
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Seasonings and Extras:
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Sauté chopped onions and minced garlic in olive oil over medium heat until translucent and fragrant, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it into small crumbles and seasoning with salt and black pepper.
- Cook beef mixture for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until meat is completely browned and no pink remains.
- Create small wells in the cooked beef and crack eggs directly into the skillet, allowing them to cook alongside the meat.
- Gently scramble eggs with the beef, ensuring even cooking and integration of flavors.
- Spread butter on each slice of white bread and toast until golden brown in a separate skillet or toaster.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the hot beef and egg mixture, allowing it to melt slightly.
- Assemble sandwiches by layering the cheesy beef and egg mixture between two slices of toasted bread.
- Cut sandwiches diagonally and serve immediately while warm and cheese is melted.
Notes
- Customize beef seasoning by adding smoked paprika or dried herbs like thyme for enhanced flavor complexity.
- Use lean ground beef to reduce overall fat content without compromising taste and texture.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like pepper jack or Swiss for unique sandwich profiles.
- Toast bread on low-medium heat to prevent burning and achieve consistent golden-brown color.
