ingredients
steps
- Slice sausage link (if using) in half crosswise, and then into 4 or 5 thin slices lengthwise. In a small skillet, brown sausage (or bacon) on both sides until crispy. Set aside.
- Whisk eggs in a small bowl with milk, salt, pepper, and seasoning.
- Slice ciabatta rolls (if using) in half horizontally.
- Heat butter or margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Add eggs. While cooking, shape the white into a rectangle until firm enough to flip. Cook through and remove from heat.
- Put each egg on the bottom half of a ciabatta roll (or on a slice of rye bread). Top with thinly sliced sausage and then a slice of cheese. Place the top half of roll (or bread slice) on each sandwich.
- Grill (or cook in a panini press) until sandwich is hot and cheese is melted.
