Grilled Cheese Morning Eggs (Printable Version)
Get morning happiness from sourdough packed with sausage, oozy cheese, and eggs—delivers a filling bite in every mouthful.
# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
8 slices sourdough bread
02 -
8 slices Colby-Jack cheese
03 -
6 large eggs, whisked
04 -
1/2 pound breakfast sausage, ground
05 -
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temp, divided up
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Keep going and make sandwiches until you use up everything. Enjoy them hot for the best taste.
02 -
Let the sandwich brown until the bread looks toasted and crispy, which usually takes 3 or 4 minutes. Flip with care so it doesn't fall apart, and toast the other side. Pull it from the pan, slice it in half if you want, and keep going.
03 -
Slather butter on one side of every bread slice. Toss a piece of bread (butter down) in the skillet, place a Colby-Jack slice on top, heap about a half cup of the egg and sausage filling in the middle, then add a second slice of cheese and cap it with another bread slice—make sure butter is on top.
04 -
Take out the paper towel from your sausage bowl. Dump in the scrambled eggs. Mix just enough to blend them together, but don’t overdo it. Clean out your pan again and warm it up over medium.
05 -
Pop 2 tablespoons of butter into the pan you just used, set the heat to medium-high, and let it melt. Pour your beaten eggs in, let them start to set, then move and fold them around until they’re softly scrambled and not runny. Take them off the heat.
06 -
Crank up a non-stick pan over medium and toss in the breakfast sausage. Break it up as it cooks until you don’t see any more pink. Scoop the sausage onto a paper-towel-lined bowl to soak up extra fat, then wipe your pan clean for later.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Switch things up: use cooked bacon, ham, or keep it simple with eggs and cheese for a meatless bite.
02 -
For a change, use some mayo on your bread instead of butter to make the outside extra tasty.
03 -
Fresh tomato slices with a pinch of salt and pepper bring a pop of flavor and juiciness.
04 -
Not into scrambled eggs? Fry them however you like—over-easy, medium, or hard all work fine.
