Spring Sausage Egg and Cheese Sandwich

My spring take on a sausage egg and cheese sandwich- I made homemade sausage patties with hot honey, fennel, and a bunch of herbs. 

The Deets:
Listen, I love a classic sausage egg and cheese sandwich on buttery brioche bread, but there is something special about this spring twist on a classic. I made homemade sausage patties with hot honey, fennel, and a bunch of herbs. Then I made a little omelette filled with creamy goat cheese, spring peas, scallions and asparagus (but you can get creative with the vegetables you add to the middle). Fold the eggs so the goat cheese melts and top on toasted brioche. If you like this sandwich, you’ll also love this broccoli rabe and sausage breakfast sandwich!

The Breakfast Sausage

• ▢ 8 oz Ground Italian sausage

Instructions 

• Add sausage to a bowl with the rest of the breakfast sausage ingredients and mix until thoroughly combines. Mold them into two thin patties.
• Add 1 tbsp butter (or alternatively, neutral oil) to a skillet and add patties. Cook about 3-4 min per side or until golden and cooked through. Remove from skillet and wipe out the pan.
• Add second tbsp of butter. Whisk eggs and pour into pan in an even layer. Once the eggs have started to set, add spring veggies and goat cheese. Fold eggs in on each side until you have the shape of a present. Cook for another 1-2 minutes for the eggs to finish cooking and the cheese to melt.
