A hearty and delicious Breakfast Grilled Cheese featuring savory ground sausage, fluffy scrambled eggs, and melted Colby-Jack cheese sandwiched between buttery sourdough bread slices. Perfect for a satisfying morning meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1/2 pound ground breakfast sausage

Eggs and Dairy

  • 6 large eggs (beaten)
  • 8 slices Colby-Jack cheese
  • 4 tablespoons soft butter (divided)

Bread

  • 8 slices sourdough bread

Instructions

  1. Cook the Sausage: In a non-stick skillet, cook the ground breakfast sausage over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain excess grease by transferring the cooked sausage to a paper towel-lined bowl and set aside.
  2. Scramble the Eggs: Using the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and gently scramble until just set but still moist. Remove the skillet from heat.
  3. Combine Egg and Sausage: In a bowl, combine the scrambled eggs and cooked sausage mixture, mixing them evenly.
  4. Assemble the Sandwiches: Butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread. Place one slice butter-side down in the skillet, top with one slice of Colby-Jack cheese, then a generous scoop of the egg-sausage mixture, another slice of cheese, and finally a second slice of sourdough bread butter-side up.
  5. Grill the Sandwich: Cook the assembled sandwich on medium heat until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, roughly 3 to 4 minutes per side. Flip carefully to avoid spilling the filling.
  6. Serve: Remove from skillet and serve immediately while warm and gooey for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for the fluffiest scrambled eggs.
  • If preferred, substitute ground turkey sausage for a leaner option.
  • You can add vegetables like spinach or tomatoes inside the sandwich for extra nutrition.
  • Butter the bread evenly to ensure a golden, crispy crust.
  • Serve with your choice of breakfast sides such as fresh fruit or hash browns.
