Calories: 676kcal
Ingredients
- 8 oz. ground breakfast sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 2 Tbsp milk
- ½ tsp dried basil
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ tsp black pepper
- ⅔ cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- ⅔ cup Monterey jack cheese shredded
- ⅓ cup feta cheese crumbled
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter softened and divided
- 2 tsp Italian seasonings
- 8 slices Texas toast
- ⅔ cup fresh spinach
- {optional} green onions sliced
Instructions
- Using a large skillet, cook sausage over medium-high heat until fully cooked. Transfer sausage to a paper-towel lined plate and pat dry.
- Using a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, dried basil, salt and pepper. Cook eggs in large skillet, stirring often, until almost scrambled. Add cooked sausage and continue cooking until eggs are fully scrambled.
- Using a small bowl, combine mozzarella, Monterey Jack and feta cheeses.
- Spread butter on one side of each of the slices of Texas toast. Sprinkle Italian seasonings on top of buttered bread. Place 4 slices buttered-side down on a large plate or cutting board. Divide eggs evenly on top of bread and then top with cheese. Add several spinach leaves and then top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side up.
- Using a griddle (or working in rounds), toast sandwiches over medium heat for 4-5 minutes. Flip, and continue cooking for 3-4 more minutes, or until bread is golden brown and cheese is completely melted.
- {Optional} Sprinkle chopped green onions on top of sandwiches.
- Serve hot.
