Open-Faced Sausage And Egg Sandwich

Bev is in Florida for a couple weeks, leaving me at home looking after Madison and the pets and since Madison eats little more than canned soup and cereal and cooking for one is no fun, I won’t have as much to write about foodwise – but there’s still breakfast.

I discovered a couple of pieces of cooked breakfast sausage in the fridge and decided to turn them into a sausage and egg sandwich the next day – one of my favorites.  But while reading blogs that morning, Pam, from For The Love Of Cooking, posted one of her delicious breakfast frittatas and I was faced with a dilemma. 

The frittata looked very good, but I still wanted the flavors of the sandwich – especially the mayo on the bread.  Since the sandwich is often hard to eat, as the bread falls apart, I decided to do both.  I began by chopping the sausage and some onion and sautéing until the onion began to soften.  Then I added two eggs, beaten with some cream, diced cheddar cheese, and S&P, turned the heat down to med-low and added a lid.

When it was about set (above shot), I stuck it under the 300* broiler for 2 minutes to finish cooking and in the meantime I spread two slices of toast with Duke’s Mayo.

I slid the frittata onto the toast and added some chives for pretty.

It was perfect, giving me the fluffiness of the frittata along with the flavors of the sandwich.  I may have to fry up some more sausage to be ready.

I'm now responding to your comments and hoping you will stop back by - photos best if enlarged by clicking on them.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.

  1. I'm happy with a sandwich morning, noon and night. Cooking for one is no fun. I did it for myself for years when Meakin traveled during the week. I'm betting Madison might like the old fashion tuna noodle casserole. Who doesn't love that?

    Missed seeing you this trip. The seafood tower will always be here next year. Take care and invite Joe over for margueritas.

    1. Thanks Betsy, but I'm too lazy so I'll just let this blog be it and hope folks will send me money - I won't hold my breath though :-)

  5. Looks like you have another teaching job on your hands, Larry: teaching that girl to appreciate your delightful foods! That breakfast would be case in point.

  6. Marjie - You're right about it being another teaching job. Tonight she tried grilled oysters for the first time.

  7. Larry, A nice Benton's mild ground sausage and fried egg sandwich on homemade bread, (with a little Tabasco), qualifies as one of my favorite all time breakfast or lunch meals! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

    1. It's hard to beat a sausage and egg sandwich - it's even what I order at the fast food places - except on an English muffin.

  10. That is quite the construction, Larry. Fritta sandwich, what a great idea. I think half of one would fill me up.

  11. Thanks Chris - I think half filled me as well, but I ate it anyway.
