My family will adore me for at least 24-48 hours.
Because we have a very busy Saturday, and, well.....just because I love them and all...I set about making these yummy sandwiches this morning during my usual showergetdressedandpresentablforthewalktothebusstop time.
An electric knife is GREAT for cutting even slices from your sausage roll. *WARNING* DO NOT UNWRAP YOUR ROLL. Cut right through it. I used I 16oz roll of breakfast sausage. Some sausage rolls have markings you can cut on, mine didn't...*pouts* but even without the markings I got 15 pretty even slices.
BONUS!! If I had gotten 16, they wouldn't have all fit in my pan! You really want them not to touch, I cheated a little. Live on the edge. Now, here's where you want to just walk away. I had my pan preheating on med/high and turned it up as I put in the meat. Only turned the meat once. Took about 10-15 minutes. Watch your heat, you may need to turn it down. Don't want to burn your little piggies!!
Here is the rest of the ingredients.
Sah-weet! My mouth is watering and you KNOW I already ate one.
Ok, here's where you could save time...but I think this step is important and always have done it. I toast my muffins. I guess I could have put them in the oven all at once to toast, but then you are heating up your oven...and really when you're cooking the meat, you might as well be pushing the toaster lever, right? I guess you could not toast at all, but this is how I roll.
I butter one side....had to turn my toaster up...I like em a little browned...
That's better, now take one slice of cheese and fold into fours and put two squares on the opposite side of the buttered side. Don't want them to just slide off, right?
Now, here's the tricky egg part. Sidebar...my Mother made eggs in the microwave for as long as I could remember. Scrambled eggs in the microwave are awesome. This part is a little redundant, but worth it if you want the M*donald style egg....break one egg in a coffee mug ( i used my longaberger mug) no oil or anything. Covered with paper towel and nuked on 45- 50 seconds. This is what I got. I ran a butter knife around the edge and it slides right out. Now, I had to do this 12 times. I guess I could have used more mugs, perhaps four and increased my time, maybe next time. I've yet to find another way to get the egg like this....
There, you have it. Layering and wrapping them up and you are done. I wrapped mine in plastic wrap and kept them on the cookie sheet. It was easier to store them in my fridge that is overflowing right now. I have to separate my meats from last grocery trip, so they are in there taking up lots of space.
It really did not take a long and would take even less time for the person not making a meal for 6 eaters. It took about 45 minutes to complete/ I'm sure there are quicker ways to do some of the things I did, but hey it's my process...so....
