Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- Breakfast sausage, about 8 oz (pre-cooked or fresh sausage crumbles)
- 4 large eggs, beaten until fluffy
- 4 soft rolls or hamburger buns
- Butter or oil, 1-2 tablespoons for cooking
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Ingredients
- Cheese (sharp cheddar or mozzarella), 1/2 cup shredded
- Diced bell peppers, onions, or spinach (about 1/4 cup total)
Instructions
- Prepare the Sausage: Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. If using fresh sausage, crumble it evenly while cooking. Drain excess fat to keep the filling neat.
- Whisk and Cook the Eggs: While the sausage cools slightly, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour into a lightly buttered pan and cook gently over low heat, stirring constantly to make soft, moist scrambled eggs.
- Warm the Rolls: Slice rolls in half and warm them briefly in the oven or toaster oven to prevent sogginess and enhance texture.
- Assemble the Rolls: Layer the cooked sausage on the bottom halves of the rolls, add scrambled eggs on top, and sprinkle with cheese if using. Close the rolls and serve immediately.
Notes
- Cook sausage thoroughly before assembly to ensure food safety.
- Use fresh eggs for fluffier scrambled eggs and better flavor.
- Cook eggs on low heat to keep them creamy and avoid drying out.
- Lightly toast rolls to maintain bread texture and prevent sogginess.
- Add cheese just before serving for perfect melting and balanced flavors.
