Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 slices slices of bread (any kind you prefer)
  • 2 oz cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your favorite) Can use any preferred cheese
  • 1 patty sausage patty (about 2 oz)
  • 2-3 large eggs Adjust number based on preference
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil For cooking
  • ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 oz ham (optional) Can be omitted

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Allow it to warm up for about 1 minute.
  2. Place the sausage patty in the skillet and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper, then pour them into the skillet after removing the sausage. Stir gently and scramble for about 2-3 minutes until cooked to your liking.
Assembly
  1. On one slice of bread, layer the cooked sausage, scrambled eggs, slices of cheese, red onions, and optionally, ham. Top with another slice of bread.
Final Cooking
  1. Return the sandwich to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes on each side, pressing down gently with a spatula until cheese is melted and bread is golden brown.
  2. Slice the sandwich in half, if desired, and enjoy while hot.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding hot sauce or mustard inside. Use a panini press for perfectly toasted bread. Store leftovers tightly wrapped in foil in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet for about 5 minutes until warmed through.
