The Fun And Easy Way To Cook A Breakfast Sandwich All In One Pan
BY JULIA HOLLAND
The fastest, easiest way to achieve a perfectly cooked breakfast sandwich is by using the egg as a filling, batter, and binding agent for the rest of the ingredients.
To start, beat an egg or two in a bowl while you heat a frying pan. Dip two slices of bread in the scrambled eggs before pouring them into a hot pan of melted butter or oil.
Add the egg-washed bread slices once the eggs have created a thin, even layer over the pan. Once the eggs surrounding the pieces of bread have set, flip the whole thing over.
Fold the hanging bits of egg inwards so all the egg is on both bread slices. Then, add desired cheeses and cooked proteins, and fold one of the bread slices over onto the other.
This clever hack has become quite the trend on TikTok, where you can find tips to further ensure a crisp exterior and gooey interior, including cooking the eggs and bread on low heat.
To ensure that the cheese melts evenly and thoroughly, use a thin slice of cheese or shredded cheese. Crisp the exterior even further by flipping the sandwich onto sizzling butter.
