Scrambled Egg Grilled Cheese Sandwich

   

       I always make fried egg sandwiches, (the typical bacon egg and cheese) but this may have just converted me. Some scrambled eggs and cheese stacked between two pieces of bread and grilled. So simple, why hadn't I thought of it before....does everyone do this, and I just haven't heard of it?!

           Since the idea popped up, I've made at least 3 or 4 and they have always been delicious. It's too easy to mess up! It's perfect for a cheap finals week breakfast/lunch and the potential ingredients, as always, have endless options. I have made one with spinach and one with green pepper and so far the pepper is my favorite....I love the crunch! Try it with any vegetables you have on hand.

Sometimes I think it's silly to blog about such easy recipes, but then again, everyone cooks in different ways and often the simple ideas are overlooked!
