Total time: 25 min
Yield: 2 servings
Cuisine: American
Ingredients: 4 breakfast sausage patties (about 4 oz total); 4 slices of sandwich bread; 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened; Pinch of salt (optional); Pinch of black pepper (optional)

A simple yet satisfying sandwich featuring savory sausage patties nestled between perfectly buttered and toasted bread, a true comfort food classic.

Instructions

Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage patties and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until thoroughly browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
While the skillet is still warm (and ideally has a little sausage fat), spread the softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
Place the buttered bread slices, butter-side down, into the skillet. Toast for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. If needed, add a touch more butter to the pan before toasting the second side.
Once the bread is toasted, immediately place two cooked sausage patties onto the non-buttered side of two bread slices. Top with the remaining two toasted bread slices, butter-side up.
Optionally, season with a pinch of salt and black pepper if desired. Serve hot and enjoy your hearty American sausage sandwich!
