This recipe is presented by Eggland’s Best.

When you’re tired, out of time, or just want the comfort of simplicity, brinner (breakfast for dinner), is a welcome solution.

This isn’t any old grilled cheese, though. The sausage and egg pack an extra protein punch.

Ingredients (5)

  • 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) Land O Lakes Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt

  4. Remove the egg mixture from the skillet; keep warm.
  5. Carefully wipe out the skillet with a paper towel and spread about 1 teaspoon of the Land O Lakes Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salton on 1 side of each bread slice.
  6. Assemble the sandwiches by topping 1 slice bread, buttered-side down with 1 slice of American cheese, 1/4 of the cooked egg mixture, 1 slice of American cheese, and 1 slice of bread, buttered-side up.
  7. Heat the skillet over medium heat.
  8. Place 2 sandwiches into the skillet; cooking for 4-6 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is melted (flip only once).
  9. Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and keep warm while cooking the remaining sandwiches.
