Sausage & Egg Breakfast Panini

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat a panini press or grill pan to medium-high heat.

2. 2

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the beef sausage patties for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Remove and set aside.

3. 3

   In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your desired doneness (fried or scrambled). Season with salt and pepper if desired. Remove from heat.

4. 4

   Lay out 4 slices of bread. Place 1 slice of mozzarella cheese on each, followed by a cooked sausage patty and a cooked egg.

5. 5

   Top each with another slice of bread to form a sandwich.

6. 6

   Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and brush it on the outside of each sandwich.

7. 7

   Place the sandwiches in the preheated panini press or grill pan. Cook for 3-5 minutes, pressing gently, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

8. 8

   Remove from the press, slice in half if desired, and serve hot.
