Long a standard in our home growing up. The only addition we used was always a thin slice of dill pickle. Can't imagine the sandwich without it. (And I'm not usually a pickle eater.)

I grilled these rather than serve on toast, just personal preference. I don't think the butter within the egg mixture was necessary, would not use that again. Needed salt and pepper. We added cheese, because can't have a sandwich without :)
thanks for the recipe.

A great hearty sandwich that we enjoyed for lunch. I did make a couple of changes. I added red onion instead of green onions, used half-in-half instead of milk and added a slice of Havarti Cheese on top. My DH was able to eat his but it was too big for me though I did eat about 3/4 of it. Thanks for a great sandwich Chef Dee. Made for Chef Dee Cook-a-thon.
