Breakfast Grilled Cheese with Eggs (Printable Version)
Sourdough stacked with cheese, eggs, and sausage offers a hearty, flavorful start to your day.
# Everything You’ll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1/2 pound ground breakfast sausage
02 -
6 large eggs, beaten
03 -
8 slices Colby-Jack cheese
04 -
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
05 -
8 slices sourdough bread
# Steps to Cook:
01 -
In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook and crumble the ground breakfast sausage until no longer pink. Transfer to a medium bowl lined with paper towels to drain and set aside. Wipe out the skillet.
02 -
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and allow them to begin setting. Gently stir until softly scrambled with no visible liquid. Remove from heat.
03 -
Remove paper towels from sausage and add sausage to the bowl with scrambled eggs. Gently stir to combine. Wipe out the skillet and preheat over medium heat.
04 -
Spread softened butter on one side of each bread slice. Place one slice buttered side down onto the skillet. Top with one slice of Colby-Jack cheese, approximately 0.5 cup of the sausage-egg mixture, another slice of cheese, and a second bread slice buttered side up.
05 -
Cook until the bread is golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the opposite side until golden. Transfer to a cutting board and slice in half if desired.
06 -
Repeat assembly and cooking steps with remaining ingredients. Serve immediately while hot.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Customize with bacon, ham, or make vegetarian using only eggs and cheese.
02 -
For added flavor, brown bread with mayonnaise instead of butter.
03 -
Add a slice of fresh tomato seasoned with salt and pepper for freshness.
04 -
Eggs can be substituted with over-easy, over-medium, or over-hard styles instead of scrambled.
