Breakfast Grilled Cheese Eggs
A warm, gooey sandwich filled with fluffy scrambled eggs, savory sausage, and melty cheese, all nestled in crispy sourdough bread, perfect for elevating your morning routine.
Ingredients
For the filling
- 1/2 pound ground breakfast sausage Rich in flavor and aroma
- 6 large eggs Beaten until creamy and golden
For the sandwiches
- 8 slices sourdough bread With a crust that’s crunchy and soft interiors
- 8 slices Colby-Jack cheese Creamy and melty, the perfect sandwich partner
- 4 tablespoons soft butter Divided, to give that golden brown finish
Instructions
Cooking the Sausage
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage, breaking it up with a spoon until browned and no longer pink. Transfer to a paper towel-lined bowl.
- Wipe the skillet clean to remove residue.
Cooking the Eggs
- In the clean skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of soft butter over medium-high heat.
- Pour in the beaten eggs and let them set on the edges. Gently stir with a spatula, cooking until almost no liquid remains, then remove from heat.
Combining Filling
- Mix cooked sausage and fluffy scrambled eggs together in a bowl.
Assembling and Cooking Sandwiches
- Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. In the skillet, lay a slice of bread butter-side down, layer with cheese, the sausage and egg mixture, another slice of cheese, and finish with a second slice of bread butter-side up.
- Cook the sandwich for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Carefully flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until golden and the cheese has melted.
- Transfer to a cutting board, and cut in half to reveal the filling. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Notes
Best served immediately while hot and crispy. Pairs well with fresh fruit or a light salad. Consider using whole grain or gluten-free bread for healthier variations.
