Difficulty: Easy
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 10 minutes
Total: 25 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
6 hot dog buns
Pam spray
6 slices American or cheddar cheese
7 eggs
Method
Cook sausage in a skillet over medium-low heat for about 8 minutes. Set aside.
Whisk eggs together, then scramble. Set aside.
Cut the ends off the hot dog buns so they are just a little longer than the sausage links. Spray the inside of each bun with Pam, then spread them open and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 5 - 10 minutes, or until warm and just starting to brown.
Line each hot dog bun with a slice of cheddar cheese. Add a link of sausage to each hot dog bun, then top with scrambled eggs.
