Description
A delightful twist on traditional grilled cheese, combining scrambled eggs and sausage for a hearty meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices of sourdough bread
- ½ pound of breakfast sausage, ground
- 6 big eggs, whisked
- 4 tablespoons of softened butter (split in half)
- 8 slices of Colby-Jack cheese
Instructions
- Heat up a large non-stick skillet and cook the ground sausage until it’s no longer pink. Break it up as it cooks. Move the sausage to a medium bowl lined with a paper towel, then set it aside. Use a paper towel to clean the skillet.
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the same skillet and melt over medium-high heat. Pour in the whisked eggs. Once the eggs start to firm up, gently stir them to make scrambled eggs. Keep going until there’s barely any liquid left. Take the pan off the heat.
- Remove the paper towel from under the sausage, leaving it in the bowl. Add the scrambled eggs to the bowl and lightly stir them together. Wipe out the skillet again and warm it over medium heat.
- Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. Put one slice, buttered side down, in the hot skillet. Add one slice of Colby-Jack cheese on top, followed by about ½ cup of the sausage-egg mix. Place another cheese slice on top of that, then finish with another bread slice, buttered side up.
- Toast the bottom bread slice until it turns golden, about 3-4 minutes. Flip the sandwich carefully and brown the other side until golden, too.
- Put the sandwich on a cutting board and slice it in half if you’d like. Do the same with the rest of the bread, cheese, and sausage-egg mix. Serve right away.
Notes
- For a spicier version, consider adding some hot sauce or jalapeños to the egg mixture.
- This sandwich can be customized with different types of cheese or bread.
