Sandwich

Steps

In a small bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter. Once melted, pour in the eggs.
Stir the eggs gently until they scramble and are fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, toast the bread slices until golden brown.
Spread mustard on one side of each slice of toasted bread.
Place the cooked scrambled eggs on one slice of bread, add the cheese slice on top, and then cover with the other slice of bread.
Optionally, grill the sandwich on the skillet for an additional 1-2 minutes on each side until the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy.
Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately.

Tips for Cheesy Egg Mustard Sandwich

The eggs are ready when softly set with a slight sheen; cooking them until dry can make the filling crumbly.
A mild, melty cheese keeps the mustard noticeable; sharper cheese can make the sandwich taste more assertive.
If grilling, use gentle heat so the bread crisps before the cheese filling has a chance to dry out.

Drink pairing

A crisp pilsner
Its clean, lightly bitter finish balances the rich eggs and cheese while complementing the mustard's tang.

0% option: Sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon

Storage

Refrigerate leftover sandwich within 2 hours and keep for 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; the bread may soften during storage.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the scrambled eggs are done?

They should be set throughout but still tender, with no wet liquid egg visible.

Can I make the sandwich ahead?

It is best assembled just before serving, since the mustard and egg filling can soften the toast. You can whisk the eggs shortly ahead and keep them refrigerated.
