Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 links breakfast sausage (casing removed)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 large eggs (lightly beaten)
  • 1/4 cup half and half
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (at room temperature)
  • 4 slices whole wheat bread
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instruction

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add sausage and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the sausage as it cooks; drain excess fat, reserving 1 tablespoon in the skillet.
  • Add eggs to the skillet and cook, whisking, until they just begin to set. Gently whisk in half and half; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Continue cooking until thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, about 3-5 minutes; set aside.
  • With a butter knife, spread butter on one side of each slice of bread. Place 2 slices, buttered side down, on work surface. Divide sausage, eggs and cheese evenly on both slices. Top with remaining slices, buttered side up.
  • Heat the skillet over low heat. Add sandwiches and cover; cook, turning once with a spatula, until golden brown and the cheese has just melted, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Slice and serve immediately.
