Egg in the Hole Breakfast Sandwich - Cowboy Kent Rollins

Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 12 minutes
Servings 1 sandwich

Ingredients

  • 1 cup ground breakfast sausage
  • 2 pieces sandwich bread
  • 2 tablespoons butter divided
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onion
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Take a little water and spread on a piece of tin foil or plastic wrap. Place the sausage on the foil or plastic. Fold the foil/plastic over the top and mash or roll the sausage out to about ¼-inch thick. Note: the water will help the sausage from sticking.
  • Place a medium cast iron skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sausage and cook for about 4 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, cut a large hole in the middle of each slice of bread. Reserve the cut out portion.
  • Place a large cast iron skillet over medium heat and melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the bread slices, and cut pieces, in the skillet to absorb some butter then flip over.
  • Crack an egg in each hole. With a fork or knife, lightly scramble the eggs and top each egg with about 1/2 tablespoon of green onion. Salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Sprinkle about ¼ cup of cheese over the tops of the bread. When the cut pieces begin to brown, about 1 to 2 minutes, place the cut pieces on top of the cut out portion of the slices and press down slightly.
  • With a flat spatula, flip the bread over. Sprinkle ¼ cup of cheese over the tops of each of the bread slices. Cook for 1 minute.
  • Flip the bread slices over again and sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of cheese on each bread slice. Cook until the cheese melts, about 1 minute. Place the sausage on top of one slice and top with bread. Be sure the piece of cut bread you added is on the outside to help hold in the egg. Serve immediately.
