Chef notes
This grilled cheese is a unique take on a breakfast sandwich and is a No. 1 seller. You'd be surprised how many people turn their noses up at the concept, only to discover just how delicious it really is. Trust me!
Ingredients
- 12 eggs
- 1/3 cup mayo
- 1½ tablespoon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2-1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 slices sourdough bread
- 2 slices American cheese
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 3-4 slices bacon
- 2 halves deviled eggs (recipe above)
- Durkee Sweet Heat Seasoning Blend (or similar), for garnish
Preparation
For the deviled eggs:
1.Boil and peel one dozen eggs. Slice in half, lengthwise, remove the yolks and place them in a small bowl. Arrange the eggs whites on a tray or platter.
2.Use a fork, a food processor or handheld mixer to mash the yolks.
3.Add the remaining ingredients and mix until smooth. Adjust seasoning to your liking.
4.Normally I would use a pastry bag to pipe the mixture into the eggs so that they look pretty. But for this recipe, you will be cutting them up so you can use a spoon to put the filling in the eggs.
5.Finish these guys with a sprinkle of paprika or Old Bay.
For the grilled cheese:
1.Heat the griddle to 350 F.
2.Using a pastry brush, butter one side of each slice of bread. Place buttered sides down on the griddle.
3.Put a slice of American cheese and a slice of cheddar cheese on each slice of bread.
4.On one bread slice, add 3 to 4 slices of cooked bacon, then add the two chopped deviled egg halves on top of the bacon.
5.When the bread is golden-brown and the cheese has melted, use a spatula to put the halves of the sandwich together.
6.Remove from griddle and sprinkle with Sweet Heat Seasoning Blend.
