Breakfast Grilled Cheese Eggs (Print Version)
Warm sourdough loaded up with cheesy eggs and savory sausage turns into the ultimate breakfast sandwich, crisp outside and gooey inside.
# Ingredients:
→ Main
01 -
8 slices sourdough bread
02 -
8 slices Colby-Jack cheese
03 -
6 large eggs, beaten
04 -
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened and split up
05 -
8 ounces ground breakfast sausage
# Instructions:
01 -
Place your sandwich in the hot skillet and let it brown on one side, which takes about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip it over with care and toast the other side until the outside is crispy and the cheese is gooey. Take it off the heat to cool a bit before serving.
02 -
Crank up the heat to medium-high with a big non-stick skillet. Toss in your sausage and use a spatula to break it up while it cooks. Once the color’s all brown and there’s no more pink, move it to a paper towel-lined bowl to drain the fat. Give that skillet a quick wipe with another towel.
03 -
Pull the greasy paper towels out and just leave the sausage behind. Drop the scrambled eggs in with the sausage. Stir so everything mixes, but stop once it looks good. Wipe out your skillet again so it’s ready for grilling.
04 -
Move your cooked sandwiches over to a cutting board and cut them in half if you'd like. Keep grilling and layering sandwiches until you run out of stuff. Eat them right away for best results.
05 -
Drop two tablespoons of butter into the skillet from earlier and melt it over medium-high. Pour in the beaten eggs and wait until the edges start looking set. Gently scramble them around. Pull the pan off the stove as soon as there’s just a touch of wet egg left.
06 -
Slather one side of each piece of bread with softened butter. Put a slice butter-side down in your cleaned skillet, then drop on a cheese slice, a generous scoop (about half a cup) of the sausage and eggs, plus another cheese slice. Cap it off with a second buttered bread, buttered side up.
# Notes:
01 -
Let the cheese melt all the way through for the best bite. Using sturdy bread stops everything from getting soggy as it grills.
