Breakfast Grilled Cheese
The Breakfast Grilled Cheese starts with a slice of buttered sourdough bread sprinkled generously with Wisconsin Colby, Monterey Jack, and cotija cheeses. Next, add a layer of fluffy scrambled eggs and spicy hot breakfast sausage. Finish with another layer of the cheeses, a small handful of arugula or baby spinach, and a little more cheese.
Top the sandwich off with another slice of buttered sourdough. Cook until melted and gooey inside, while crisp and lightly browned on the outside. I dare you to resist this one. This grilled cheese is somewhat spicy, a wee bit hot, and wonderfully filling. However, the combinations for this sandwich are virtually unlimited. Not a fan of sausage? Use bacon instead. Want to really kick up the heat, drizzle your favorite hot sauce onto the scrambled eggs and toss gently to coat each bite. Green vegetables aren’t your thing? Just skip the greens. (or better yet, send them my way!) When I’m making this recipe, I typically double the sausage and the eggs and keep the extra amounts in the refrigerator to make an easy breakfast the following day. If the sausage and eggs are already cooked, it will only take a few minutes to cook these sandwiches. Kitchen Tip: I use this skillet and this spatula to make this recipe.

Ham and Cheese Biscuits and Cheesy Bacon Green Chile Biscuits are a couple more breakfast favorite and they get bonus points for freezing beautifully for easy snacking. Fluffy, creamy eggs layered with an abundance of bacon, cream cheese, and jalapenos add up to the Jalapeno Popper Casserole of which dreams are made. {originally published 4/20/17 – recipe notes and photos updated 3/29/22} Disclosure: I partnered with Wisconsin Cheese to share the Grilled Cheese Recipe Showdown with you in 2017.
