Believe us: this is the best egg and cheese sandwich in the world
Say wine, snacks or haute cuisine and the gourmands at online food magazine FavorFlav know where to drink, how to eat it and what to cook. This time our cheffies serve you: this is the best egg and cheese sandwich in the world.
Creamy scrambled eggs, with melted cheese, on a toasted bun. So, let's just say it right away. That sounds divine, doesn't it? This ‘scrambled egg sandwich’ is the bestseller of the restaurant Willy Dufresne in New York, but you can easily recreate it at home.
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- Salt
- Butter (to spread on the sandwiches and to fry the eggs)
- 3 tablespoons cream cheese
- 4 slices of white bread
- 4 thick slices of cheese
Normally, you should make scrambled eggs slowly and on low heat to avoid getting dry hard bits of egg. But this clever chef cooks the scrambled eggs on reasonably high heat and then stirs in – brilliant, right? – cream cheese. Result: a super creamy scrambled egg that is firm enough to stay between the sandwiches when you fry them. Just like the tastiest toasties, this sandwich is fried in a pan with a bit of butter. Craving? Get to work, in ten minutes it will be on a plate for you.
Here's how to make this egg-cheese sandwich
- Whisk the eggs in a bowl with cayenne pepper and plenty of salt.
- Melt some butter in the frying pan. When the foam subsides, you can add the beaten eggs. Keep stirring to prevent large curds from forming. Cook the egg for about a minute, until the scrambled egg is dry.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cream cheese.
- Top two slices of bread with cheese. Spread the egg over it. Place the second slice of bread on top and you're done.
- Heat some butter in a pan and fry the sandwiches for three minutes on each side, until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
