Ingredients
  • 2 English Muffins
  • 2 Sausage Patties
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 2 American Cheese Slices
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black Pepper

Prepare the Sausage

Begin by cooking the sausage patties according to package directions. You can pan-fry them over medium heat until browned and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes per side. Alternatively, you can bake them in the oven or use an air fryer for a healthier option. Once cooked, set the sausage aside.

Cook the Eggs

Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them to your liking. For over-easy eggs, cook for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. For scrambled eggs, whisk the eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper, then pour them into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until set but still slightly moist.

Toast the English Muffins

While the sausage and eggs are cooking, split the English muffins and toast them until golden brown and crispy. You can use a toaster or toast them in a pan with a little butter.

Assemble the Sandwich

Place a slice of cheese on the bottom half of each toasted English muffin. Top with a cooked sausage patty, then add the cooked egg. Place the other slice of cheese on top of the egg, and finish with the top half of the English muffin. Serve immediately and enjoy!

    Absolutely! Consider adding sliced tomatoes, avocado, spinach, or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flavor.
  • Can I make this sandwich ahead of time?
