Fried Egg Grilled Cheese (Printer-Friendly)

Melty cheese and fried eggs on crispy Texas toast for ultimate morning comfort.

# The Ingredients You'll Need:

01 - 4 large eggs

02 - 4 slices thick Texas-style bread

03 - 2 slices Colby Jack cheese

04 - 2 slices pepper jack cheese

05 - Butter for cooking and spreading

06 - Salt and pepper to taste

01 - Butter one side of each bread slice and set aside.

02 - Heat butter in a pan over low heat. Crack in the eggs and cook to desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

03 - Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, in a separate pan. Top with Colby Jack cheese.

04 - Place two fried eggs over the Colby Jack, then layer with pepper jack cheese.

05 - Place second slice of bread on top, buttered side up. Cover pan with lid to aid cheese melting.

06 - Cook until the bottom is golden brown, flip carefully, and grill the other side until evenly crisp and cheese is melted.

07 - Repeat with remaining ingredients to make second sandwich. Serve immediately while hot.

01 - Thick Texas toast holds structure and resists sogginess from eggs.

02 - Covering the pan creates even melting without overcooking the bread.

03 - Customize egg doneness based on preference—runny yolks add richness.

04 - The cheese blend offers creamy texture with a hint of spice.
