My slightly more grown-up version of a sausage, egg, and cheese sandwich is now a family favorite. My kids all love breakfast foods. In fact, some days I feel like their love for breakfast foods is all that they can agree on.
The key to this and all real food recipes is the ingredients you use. I prefer to use organic eggs. I think they really do taste better. I can only assume that the diet that the chickens eat produce a better-tasting egg. Local or organic sausage is preferred. We mostly eat whole wheat bread, but I love this sandwich with a nice sourdough bread. Although processed American cheese was my favorite as a kid, I now prefer an organic cheese. Whether you buy organic or not, make sure you are buying cheese and not a “cheese product”. The ingredients in “cheese product” are mostly oils. Yuck! If I’m eating cheese, I want the nutrition of dairy to go along with it. And yes………we REALLY like cheese in our family.

I told you it was an easy recipe. If it was difficult, I couldn’t call it an “easy” recipe now could I? Real food doesn’t have to be complicated. That’s what I love about cooking real food recipes. Most real food recipes let the ingredients speak for themselves. Delicious!
