Ingredients
  

2 slices of sourdough bread

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened

2 large eggs

1/4 cup Hatch green chilies, diced (either fresh or roasted)

1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Filling: In a small mixing bowl, combine the diced Hatch green chilies with the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, crumbled feta cheese, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed and set the bowl aside.

    Cook the Eggs: In a non-stick skillet, add a small drizzle of olive oil and heat over medium heat. Crack the eggs gently into the skillet, and season them with salt and pepper. Cook the eggs according to your preference—choose sunny-side up for a runny yolk or scramble them for a fluffier texture. Once cooked, remove them from the skillet and set aside.

      Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of sourdough bread. On the unbuttered side of one slice, add half of the prepared cheese and chili mixture. Next, layer the cooked eggs on top, followed by the rest of the cheese mixture. Place the second slice of bread on top, ensuring the buttered side is facing up.

        Grill the Sandwich: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully set the assembled sandwich in the skillet. Grill the sandwich for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is a golden brown and crispy, while ensuring the cheese melts beautifully inside. Press down gently with a spatula to promote even toasting.

          Serve: Once the sandwich is grilled to perfection, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for about a minute. Slice it in half, and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired. Serve hot and savor the delightful melty goodness!
