Hot and Sweet Breakfast Sandwich

Ingredients

• 12 (2-3 ounce) pork sausage patties
• 8 ounces butter, softened
• 24 (1 ounce) cinnamon-raisin bread slices
• 36 large eggs, beaten (4 pounds*)
• 1 1/2 cups water
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 12 (.75 ounce) Cheddar cheese slices

Instructions

1. Grill or pan-fry sausage patties until thoroughly cooked; keep warm.
2. Blend butter and maple syrup.
3. Toast or grill bread slices; spread one side of each slice with butter blend.
4. Blend eggs, water, salt and pepper.
5. For each omelet, portion about 3/4 cup egg mixture into spray-coated, non-stick 8-inch pan. Cook, omelet-style, until eggs are firm throughout with no visible liquid egg remaining. Fold flat omelets in half, then cut each crosswise.
