Sausage Breakfast Sandwich using the Cuisinart Griddler
Well, folks, now’s the time to fire up your Cuisinart Griddler and make a proper sausage breakfast sandwich. In no time at all. Tons of sausage. Melty cheese. Perfect egg. And a fresh, toasted muffin.
Heat up your Griddler using the griddle plates. Set the Griddle dial to 425 F and the Selector to Griddle. Open the Griddler with the plates flat, side-by-side.
Open the tube of breakfast sausage. Cut the sausage into 2 1/4 pound pieces (I cut the log in half, then each half into half and use 2 slices. I save the other 2 for more sandwiches at a later time). Place the pieces into a resealable bag or on cutting board covered with a piece of wax paper. Use a meat mallet to flatten the sausage into large thin patties. You want them to be big enough to cover the muffins.
Transfer the sausage patties to the lower Griddler plate. Close the lid to cook them and keep them flat.
You want to cook the patties until done, when they reach 165 F. I like a little crunchy edges on mine. Remove and place in a warm oven or cover to keep warm.
Spread a little butter on each muffin half. Transfer to the Griddler butter side down and toast until nice and brown and golden. Remove and place in a warm oven or cover to keep warm.
Spread a little butter out onto the lower griddle and crack the eggs onto the plates. Cook until done, flipping once. Make sure that the yolk is set or close to it.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing the sausage patties onto the muffin bottoms. Add the cheese, egg and muffin top and serve.
Notes
You can actually make 4 of these sandwiches at once on the Griddler. It'll get a big crowded, but you can do it. Read my post for more info.
