Fried Egg Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Grilled cheese sandwiches are so good, and this fried egg grilled cheese sandwich is definitely one that will make any breakfast delicious! I am always thinking of different ways to make breakfast special, and this breakfast sandwich sure does the trick.
I’ve been making these for some time, and I thought, “if we like them so much, I should share this recipe with others.” So here it is my friends, another way to enjoy a fried egg sandwich and a grilled cheese together in one delicious sandwich!
Pepper jack is probably our favorite cheese, and Colby jack is a close second. This fried egg grilled cheese sandwich has the best of both cheeses! There are many variations that can be added to this sandwich as well. Adding some avocado and salsa would be delicious too!
So however you love your egg yokes, runny or hard, just cook em’ up, add your favorite type of cheese and a couple pieces of Texas style bread, and there you go, a delicious fried egg grilled cheese sandwich. Yum!
This is definitely tasty and filling, so how about a nice fried egg grilled cheese sandwich the next time you want something a little different for breakfast.

I do something very similar. Instead of buttering and grilling the bread, I toss my bread slices in the toaster while I am frying my egg.
this spoke straight to me…
No need for a second pan. Just fry the eggs, lift them with your spatula and hold them sort of suspended over the pan in case of drips. Lay down the first bread slice, buttered side down. Top with cheese, then put the eggs on top. Add second slice of cheese and slice of bread. Proceed as usual. I make this sandwich all the time…it’s great!
I want to try this with gluten free bread
I have another way to make a fried egg sandwich with a double yolk(because you can never find a double yolk egg any more ever!) every time instead of frying two whole eggs ,all you have to do is break one egg into a small dish then separate the second egg( either throw away the egg white or save it it doesn’t matter) put the yolk into the small bowl with the other whole egg & you now have a double yolk egg and you can fry as normal!! Enjoy????
Hi Nancy, great idea! Thank you for sharing! :)
I have a whole carton full double yolked brown eggs. I bought it just a few days ago – and they’re not that big.
Why don’t you flip it? How does the top get brown?
Hi Lisa, you do flip it so both sides get browned. Cook it exactly how you would normally make a grilled cheese sandwich. :)
I was about to make my son some lunch today and he said that he is tired of what we had so I went on Pinterest to see if I could find anything interesting and I found the fried egg grilled cheese sandwich. I told him what it was and I asked him if he wanted to try it. He loves fried eggs and grilled cheese so he was eager to try it. So I made him one. As soon as he was done he asked for another one?
Hi Krystal, that’s awesome! Thanks for choosing my recipe to make for your son. I’m glad he enjoyed it! :)
I’m making this for breakfast! Thank you!
How did your breakfast turn out? I hope you enjoyed your fried egg grilled cheese sandwich! :)
With some bacon on them too….mmmmmm might have to make these for dinner
Great idea Stacey! Some crunchy bacon would be great on this! :)
What about Canadian bacon along with the egg & cheese!
That would be amazing as well! Great idea! :)
This looks so yummy! Perfect for breakfast or a midnight snack. Can’t wait for it to get done frying!
Hi Lynn, I hope you enjoyed your fried egg grilled cheese sandwich! :)
