Description
A delicious Breakfast Grilled Cheese featuring a savory filling of sausage and scrambled eggs, perfect for a hearty morning meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ pound ground breakfast sausage
- 6 large eggs, beaten
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened and divided
- 8 slices sourdough bread
- 8 slices Colby-Jack cheese
Instructions
- In a large non-stick skillet, cook and crumble the ground breakfast sausage over medium heat until no longer pink. Transfer to a paper towel-lined bowl and set aside. Wipe the pan clean.
- In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and gently stir as they set, creating soft scrambled eggs. Remove from heat while still slightly creamy.
- Remove the paper towel from under the sausage and add the scrambled eggs to the bowl. Gently stir to combine the sausage and eggs. Wipe the skillet clean and heat over medium heat.
- Butter one side of each slice of bread with the remaining butter.
- Place one slice of bread butter-side down in the skillet. Top with 1 slice of Colby-Jack cheese, then about ½ cup of the sausage-egg mixture.
- Add another slice of cheese on top of the filling, then place the second slice of bread butter-side up to complete the sandwich.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then carefully flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until the second side is golden and cheese is melted.
- Remove to a cutting board and cut in half if desired. Repeat the process with remaining ingredients to make 4 sandwiches total. Serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Ensure the sausage is fully cooked for safety.
- Adjust cooking time as necessary based on your stove heat settings.
- Feel free to add extra toppings like avocado or tomatoes for added flavor.
