# What You’ll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
4 large eggs
02 -
4 slices Texas toast bread
03 -
2 slices Colby Jack cheese
04 -
2 slices pepper jack cheese
05 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
06 -
Salt, to taste
07 -
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Spread half of the butter evenly over one side of each bread slice and set aside with buttered side facing up.
02 -
Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a nonstick skillet over low heat. Crack in the eggs and cook until whites are set and yolks reach desired doneness, seasoning with salt and pepper. Transfer eggs to a plate.
03 -
Place one slice of bread butter-side down in a clean, nonstick skillet set over medium-low heat. Top with a slice of Colby Jack cheese.
04 -
Arrange two fried eggs over the Colby Jack, then place a slice of pepper jack cheese on top.
05 -
Place the second bread slice butter-side up to close the sandwich. Cover skillet with lid and cook until the bottom is golden brown.
06 -
Carefully flip the sandwich and grill until the other side is crisp and the cheese has fully melted.
07 -
Prepare the second sandwich using the same method with remaining ingredients. Serve immediately while hot and melty.
# Handy Tips:
01 -
For best results, use a lid when grilling to help the cheese melt evenly without drying the bread.
02 -
Texas toast provides a sturdy base and delivers the ideal crunch in every bite.
03 -
Runny or set yolks are both acceptable – adjust egg cook time to personal preference.
