Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 2 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough, whole grain, or white)
Eggs
- 2 fresh eggs
Sausage
- 2 sausage links (pork, turkey, or plant-based)
Cheese
- 2 slices of cheddar or American cheese
Butter
- 2 tablespoons of butter
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. This will make the cooking process smoother and more enjoyable. Slice your bread and cheese, and cook your sausage until browned and cooked through.
- Cook the Eggs: In a non-stick skillet, crack the eggs and cook them to your desired doneness—sunny side up or scrambled work great. Season them with salt and pepper for extra flavor.
- Assemble the Sandwich: On one slice of bread, layer the cooked sausage, then the eggs, followed by a generous amount of cheese. Top with another slice of bread.
- Grill the Sandwich: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a pat of butter. Once melted, place the sandwich in the skillet. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once your Breakfast Grilled Cheese with Eggs & Sausage is perfectly golden, remove it from the skillet. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing in half and serving!
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh eggs and high-quality sausage can elevate the flavor of your sandwich.
- Don’t Rush the Grilling: Cooking on medium heat allows the cheese to melt evenly without burning the bread.
- Experiment with Cheese: Don’t hesitate to mix different types of cheese for a unique flavor profile.
- Press Down: Gently press down on the sandwich while grilling for even melting and a crispy crust.
- Let It Rest: Allow the sandwich to sit for a minute after grilling for easier slicing and better flavor.
