Sausage Egg American Breakfast Melt

Breakfast sausage is pressed into thin bread-size patties so it cooks safely without creating a baseball at the center of the sandwich. American cheese melts around sausage and a folded egg, while white toast keeps the whole thing diner-direct. Check sausage for 160°F before assembly.
