Description
A comforting breakfast grilled cheese with savory sausage and fluffy scrambled eggs, layered with melty cheese between buttery sourdough bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 6 large eggs, beaten
- 8 slices Colby-Jack cheese
- 4 tablespoons soft butter, divided
- 8 slices sourdough bread
Instructions
- In a non-stick skillet, cook the ground sausage until no longer pink. Transfer to a paper towel-lined bowl and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the beaten eggs and scramble until just set. Remove from heat.
- Combine the cooked sausage and scrambled eggs in the bowl.
- Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Place one slice in the skillet, butter-side down. Top with a slice of cheese, followed by a generous scoop of the egg-sausage mixture, another slice of cheese, and finally another piece of bread, butter-side up.
- Grill until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes each side.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese or bread to suit your taste. Serve with a side salad or fruit for balance.
