Ingredients
3 tablespoons butter, divided
5 large brown eggs, divided
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon crushed red peppers
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
4 slices brioche bread (alternatives: croissant buns, hamburger buns, potato buns, challah bread, or sliced French bread)
2 slices Swiss cheese
Instructions
1-Getting started: with this French Toast Breakfast Sandwich is easier than you might think. Begin by preparing the egg mixture that will make your bread extra delicious. Whisk together 1 egg with evaporated milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl for that sweet touch we all crave in the morning.
2-Next: heat a skillet over medium heat with 1 teaspoon of butter to get things cooking. In another bowl, mix 1 egg with parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella, crushed red peppers, sea salt, and black pepper until it’s light and airy. Pour this into the skillet, stir gently to form soft curds, and remove it when it’s just slightly wet for the best texture.
3-Building and Cooking the Sandwich: Now, dip each slice of brioche bread into the sweet egg mixture, coating one side for at least 30 seconds. This step is where the magic happens, soaking up all those flavors. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet and place the bread slices dipped-side down.
4-Layer: on one slice of Swiss cheese, half the scrambled eggs, another slice of Swiss cheese, and top with a second bread slice, custard side out. Cook for 3 minutes per side until it’s golden and the cheese melts perfectly. Serve it hot, maybe with a drizzle of maple syrup on the side for that extra sweetness.
