Ingredients
-
½ pound ground breakfast sausage
-
6 large eggs, beaten
-
4 slices sourdough bread
-
4 slices cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat and set aside.
-
In a bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour into the skillet and scramble until just set but still soft. Remove from heat.
-
Heat another skillet or griddle over medium heat. Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread.
-
Place two slices, buttered side down, onto the skillet. Layer with scrambled eggs, cooked sausage, and cheese slices. Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
-
Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Press gently with a spatula to compact the sandwich.
-
Remove from heat, let cool for a minute, then slice and serve immediately.
Notes
Serve your breakfast grilled cheese with eggs immediately while it’s warm and the cheese is perfectly melted for the best taste and texture. Pair it with fresh fruit, crispy hash browns, or a light side salad to complete your breakfast.
If you have leftovers, wrap the sandwich tightly in foil or plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for up to two days. To reheat, use a skillet or toaster oven to maintain the crispy texture of the bread and to melt the cheese evenly. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can make the bread soggy.
For make-ahead convenience, you can assemble the sandwich without grilling, wrap it tightly, and refrigerate overnight. Grill it fresh in the morning for a hot and crispy breakfast.
If you want to freeze the sandwich, assemble it ungrilled, wrap tightly in plastic and foil, then freeze for up to one month. Thaw in the refrigerator before grilling to reheat.
