Instructions

Prep the eggs: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
Cook the scrambled eggs: Heat olive oil or butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and gently scramble until the eggs are just set but still moist. Remove from heat and set aside.
Butter the bread: Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
Assemble the sandwiches: On the unbuttered sides of two bread slices, layer the scrambled eggs, cooked bacon or sausage patties, shredded cheddar, shredded mozzarella, and any optional toppings like avocado or tomato. Place the remaining bread slices on top with the buttered side facing out.
Cook the sandwiches: Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese melts.
Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, slice if desired, and serve warm with a dash of hot sauce if preferred.

Notes

Try different cheeses such as pepper jack or Swiss for a flavor variation.
Make it vegetarian by skipping the bacon or sausage and adding sautéed spinach or mushrooms instead.
Use sourdough bread for a tangier flavor or whole wheat for added fiber.
Optional add-ins like sliced avocado or tomato add freshness and texture.
