Breakfast on the go is easy with this creamy and rich grilled cheese! Alpine-style Alpha Tolman Cheese by The Cellars at Jasper Hill melts beautifully alongside scrambled eggs and fresh slices of salted tomatoes. Hearty Texas toast helps keep everything glued together and the Garlic Habanero Hot Sauce adds an extra zing of flavor and helps awaken the taste buds early in the morning. This sandwich definitely will make your breakfast more exciting.

"This recipe is absolutely delicious. You can taste every ingredient in each bite. The perfect combination of crispy and soft. The preparation is easy and is a great breakfast to start a busy day. This recipe is super-adoptable. If you can’t find Alpha Tolman cheese, gruyere is the next best choice." —Tara Omidvar

2 slices Texas toast

Gather the ingredients.

Arrange half the cheese onto one slice of bread.

Next, dab your tomato with a paper towel to remove the excess moisture and sprinkle with salt. Lay the tomato on top and then cover with the scrambled eggs and the chives.

The Spruce/Diana Chistruga
Add the remaining half of the cheese on top and finish by adding the remaining top piece of bread. Smear both sides of the sandwich with the butter.

The Spruce/Diana Chistruga
Add your buttered sandwich to a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook the grilled cheese until one side has become golden-brown and the cheese has started to melt.

The Spruce/Diana Chistruga
Flip the sandwich and repeat until both sides are equally toasted and the cheese has melted.

The Spruce/Diana Chistruga
Remove from heat and let sit for a minute so the cheese can thicken back up and the flavors can intensify. Cut in half and serve with the hot sauce, if using.
