  • Yield

    Makes 2 servings

Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
4 (1/2-inch-thick) slices country-style bread (4 to 5 1/2 inches wide)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 (1/3-inch-thick) breakfast pork sausage patties (6 oz), thawed if frozen
6 tablespoons coarsely grated Swiss cheese (2 oz)
4 large eggs

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Butter bread slices and arrange 2, buttered sides down, on a large plate.

    Step 2

    Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then cook patties, pressing with a spatula to flatten, until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to paper towels to drain briefly, then arrange 2 patties side by side on each plated bread slice. Top with cheese.

    Step 3

    Fry eggs in fat remaining in skillet over moderate heat, seasoning with salt and pepper, until whites are barely set, about 1 1/2 minutes. Flip eggs with spatula and cook until whites are set and yolks are just set but still soft, 45 seconds to 1 minute more.

    Step 4

    Carefully transfer eggs to sandwiches, topping each patty with an egg. Cover with remaining 2 bread slices, buttered sides up. Wipe out skillet.

    Step 5

    Carefully transfer sandwiches to skillet and cook over moderate heat, turning carefully once, until golden, 2 to 4 minutes total. Halve sandwiches.
