Crafting the Perfect Breakfast Grilled Cheese

Ingredients:

• 1/2 pound ground breakfast sausage
• 6 large eggs, beaten
• 8 slices Colby-Jack cheese
• 4 tablespoons soft butter
• 8 slices sourdough bread

Instructions:

1. In a spacious non-stick skillet, cook and crumble the ground breakfast sausage until it loses its pink color. Transfer the cooked sausage to a medium mixing bowl lined with paper towels and set it aside. Use a paper towel to wipe the skillet clean.
2. In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Pour the beaten eggs into the pan. As the eggs begin to set, gently stir them to create scrambled eggs, continuing until most of the liquid is cooked. Remove the skillet from the heat.
3. Remove the paper towel from under the sausage, leaving the sausage in the bowl. Combine the scrambled eggs with the sausage in the bowl, gently stirring to mix. Wipe the skillet with a paper towel and heat it over medium heat.
4. Butter one side of each piece of bread. Place one slice of bread into the skillet, butter side down. Add a slice of Colby-Jack cheese on top of the bread slice. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the sausage-egg mixture over the cheese. Place another slice of cheese on top of the sausage-egg mixture, followed by another slice of buttered bread with the butter side facing up.
5. Cook the sandwich until the bread begins to turn golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip the sandwich over and cook until the second side is golden brown.
6. Transfer the sandwich to a cutting board and, if desired, cut it in half. Repeat the process with the remaining bread, cheese, and sausage-egg mixture. Serve immediately.

Pro Tips for the Best Breakfast Grilled Cheese

1. Butter vs. Mayo Debate:

   • The ongoing debate about using butter or mayo for a grilled cheese boils down to personal preference. Mayo can result in a crispier sandwich due to its higher smoke point.

2. Making Ahead and Freezing:

   • Indeed, you can prepare these sandwiches in advance. Ensure they cool completely before storing to preserve that perfect crunch. Freezing is also a viable option!

3. Reheating Like a Pro:

   • While microwaving is an option, for optimal crispiness, partially heat in the microwave and then transfer to a griddle or panini press.
