Southern Breakfast Grilled Cheese
Southern Breakfast Grilled Cheese
Southern breakfast grilled cheese, ham, fenugreek gouda, scrambled eggs, sourdough

This Southern breakfast grilled cheese is packed with sweet and salty flavors. Fenugreek gouda, which is studded with fenugreek seeds (typically used to mimic maple flavoring in generic store-bought syrups), melts like a charm and works perfectly for this breakfast sandwich. The soft scrambled eggs create an airy texture while the maple glazed ham and sourdough balance out the sweetness of this sandwich. It's one breakfast grilled cheese that will have you coming back for more.

INGREDIENTS 

4 slices of regular deli style ham
1 tsp maple syrup
1 egg
1 tbsp hot sauce
1 splash milk
1 pinch salt
3 ounces Fenugreek Gouda
2 slices sourdough
3 pats of salted butter

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 7 minutes

Total Time: 17 minutes
Yield: 1 sandwich

PREPARATION

1. To begin, roughly chop your ham and set aside. In a cast iron skillet, over high heat add the ham and cook until it starts to brown. When it begins to caramelize, pour the maple syrup in and stir. Cook over low heat until the syrup is cooked into the ham. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. Crack your egg in a small bowl and add hot sauce, milk, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until combined. In a non-stick pan, add 1 pat of butter and cook eggs, stirring consistently, until they are soft yet opaque.
Remove from heat and set aside.

3. Assemble the sandwich, Layer one piece of sourdough with half the fenugreek gouda, then add the scrambled eggs, the ham, the remaining cheese and the other slice of sourdough. Butter both sides of your sandwich. Turn the heat source to medium, and place sandwich inside the skillet. Cook for a few minutes on each side until the sandwich is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Remove from heat and let sit for a few minutes - this not only allows the cheese to coagulate so that it doesn't ooze out of the sandwich but it also allows the flavors to intensify - thus providing a tastier, more solid sandwich.

4. Enjoy and don't forget to share with friends!

** I recommend buying local and using organic ingredients - they just taste better and they're better for the world and yourself!**
