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
- Cook the sausage: In a large non-stick skillet, crumble the ground sausage. Cook over medium heat until browned, then remove it from the skillet and set aside.
- Scramble the eggs: In that same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the beaten eggs and scramble gently, cooking until just set.
- Combine ingredients: In a bowl, mix the cooked sausage with the scrambled eggs until well blended.
- Assemble the sandwich: Butter one side of each slice of sourdough. Place one slice in the skillet, butter-side down. Add a slice of cheese, a scoop of the egg-sausage mixture, another slice of cheese, and top with the second slice of bread (buttered side out).
- Grill the sandwich: Cook the sandwich in the skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until both sides are golden brown and the cheese is melty.
- Serve: Slice the sandwich in half and enjoy it hot for the best experience!
Notes
Serve with fresh fruit or hash browns for a complete breakfast. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
