How to Make Breakfast Grilled Cheese with Eggs

Ingredients:

1/2 lb ground breakfast sausage
6 large eggs, beaten
4 slices of sourdough bread
4 slices of Colby-Jack cheese
Butter for grilling
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

In a skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through.
In a bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Add the cooked sausage to the eggs and mix well.
In the same skillet, melt some butter and pour in the egg and sausage mixture. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are scrambled and set.
On another skillet, butter one side of a slice of sourdough bread and place it butter-side down. Top with a slice of cheese, followed by the scrambled egg mixture, and then another slice of cheese before placing another slice of buttered sourdough on top.
Grill until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, flipping carefully.
Serve hot and enjoy your indulgent breakfast grilled cheese!

How to Serve Breakfast Grilled Cheese with Eggs

This sandwich is best served hot straight from the skillet. You can slice it in half for easy eating. Consider pairing it with some fresh fruit or a hot cup of coffee for a complete breakfast.

How to Store Breakfast Grilled Cheese with Eggs

If you have leftovers, let the sandwich cool completely, then wrap it in plastic wrap or foil. Store it in the refrigerator for up to two days. To reheat, place it in a skillet over low heat until warmed through or use a toaster oven to restore its crispy texture.

Tips to Make Breakfast Grilled Cheese with Eggs

Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and fluffiness.
Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for a different taste.
Make sure the skillet is hot enough before grilling the sandwich so that the bread gets crispy.
Don’t rush the cooking of the eggs. Low heat will give you perfect scrambled eggs.

Variation

You can add vegetables like spinach, tomatoes, or peppers to the egg mixture for added nutrition and flavor. You can also try using different types of bread, like whole grain or rye, for a change.
