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

Ingredients

Scale

Meat & Eggs

  • 1/2 pound ground breakfast sausage
  • 6 large eggs (beaten)

Dairy

  • 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 it is no longer pink and fully cooked through. Transfer the sausage to a paper towel-lined bowl to drain excess grease and set aside.
  2. Scramble the eggs: In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them gently until they are just set but still moist. Remove from heat to avoid overcooking.
  3. Combine sausage and eggs: Add the cooked sausage to the scrambled eggs in the bowl and mix gently to combine all flavors evenly.
  4. Assemble the sandwiches: Butter one side of each sourdough bread slice. Heat the skillet over medium heat again and place one slice of bread butter-side down. Layer with one slice of Colby-Jack cheese, then a generous scoop of the egg and sausage mixture, followed by another slice of cheese, and finally top with another slice of bread, butter-side up.
  5. Grill the sandwiches: Cook the assembled sandwich in the skillet for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and crisp and the cheese has melted fully.
  6. Serve: Remove the grilled cheese from the skillet and serve immediately while warm and melty for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute sourdough bread with your favorite sturdy bread like whole wheat or multigrain for a different flavor.
  • For extra flavor, add some sautéed onions or bell peppers to the egg mixture before cooking.
  • If you prefer a leaner option, turkey breakfast sausage can be used instead of pork sausage.
  • This sandwich can be cut in half diagonally for easy serving and eating on the go.
  • Use medium heat while grilling to ensure the cheese melts properly without burning the bread.
