Soft scrambled eggs in about a minute? We didn’t believe it either until we tried Wylie Dufresne's recipe. Mixing in cream cheese adds back the richness lost by cooking the eggs quickly.

　　

Ingredients

Makes 2

　　

Scrambled Eggs:

4 large eggs

　　1 small pinch of cayenne pepper

　　Kosher salt

　　2 Tbsp. unsalted butter

　　3 Tbsp. cream cheese

　　

Assembly:

4 slices American cheese

　　4 thick slices Martin's Potato Bread or other white bread

　　Unsalted butter (for pan)

　　

Scrambled Eggs:

Step 1

Whisk eggs and cayenne in a small bowl; season generously with salt.

　　

Step 2

Heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium. As soon as it begins to foam, add eggs and cook, whisking constantly, until they have set in small curds and are beginning to look dry, about 1 minute. Immediately remove from heat and whisk in cream cheese.

　　

Assembly:

Step 3

Divide cheese between 2 slices of bread and top with egg mixture. Close up sandwiches.

　　

Step 4

Heat a dry large skillet over medium-low and brush very lightly with butter. Toast sandwiches until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.

　　

Do Ahead

Step 5

Eggs can be scrambled 2 hours ahead. Store tightly covered at room temperature.
