Method

Preparing the Eggs

  1. 1

    Fry the Eggs

    In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add a small amount of oil or butter. Crack the eggs into the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, or your desired doneness.

Preparing the Meat

  1. 2

    Heat the Sausage

    In the same skillet, heat the cooked sausage patties over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side until warmed through.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 3

    Toast the Rolls

    Slice the Portuguese rolls in half and toast them in the skillet until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

  2. 4

    Layer the Ingredients

    On the bottom half of each toasted roll, place a sausage patty, followed by a fried egg, and a slice of cheddar cheese. If desired, add sliced tomatoes, leafy greens, and a tablespoon of mayonnaise.

  3. 5

    Finish the Sandwich

    Place the top half of the roll on each sandwich and serve immediately while warm.
