Breakfast Grilled Cheese Eggs (Printable Version)
Golden grilled sourdough packed with eggs, sausage, and melty cheese for a hearty morning sandwich.
# 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 soft butter, divided
05 -
8 slices sourdough bread
# Steps to Cook:
01 -
In a large non-stick skillet, cook and crumble the ground breakfast sausage over medium heat until no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined bowl and set aside.
02 -
Wipe the skillet clean. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook slowly, stirring gently until just set. Remove from heat to avoid overcooking.
03 -
Remove paper towel from under the sausage. Add scrambled eggs to the bowl and gently stir to combine without breaking the eggs.
04 -
Butter one side of each bread slice. Place one slice butter-side down in the skillet. Layer with one slice of cheese, 1/2 cup sausage-egg mixture, another slice of cheese, and a second bread slice butter-side up.
05 -
Cook each sandwich over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
06 -
Transfer sandwiches to a cutting board. Let rest for one minute before slicing in half. Serve immediately while hot and melty.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
You can use any breakfast meat like bacon or ham instead of sausage. For added freshness, layer in tomato slices or sautéed spinach before grilling.
02 -
To make the bread extra crispy, spread mayonnaise instead of butter before toasting.
