Description
A delicious homemade breakfast sandwich with sausage, egg, and cheese on toasted English muffins.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 English muffins, split
- 2 breakfast sausage patties
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices cheddar cheese (or American cheese)
- 1 tbsp butter (for toasting)
- 1 tsp cooking oil (for frying eggs, optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook the sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook sausage patties 3–4 minutes per side (or until browned and cooked through). Transfer to a plate.
- Toast the English muffins: Wipe the skillet, add butter, and toast muffin halves cut-side down until golden and crisp.
- Fry the eggs: Add a little oil or butter to the skillet. Crack in eggs and cook to your liking (sunny-side up or over-easy). Season with salt and pepper.
- Melt the cheese: Place a slice of cheese on each hot sausage patty so it melts slightly (cover with a lid for 30 seconds if needed).
- Assemble: Layer bottom muffin half + sausage with melted cheese + egg + top muffin half. Serve immediately while warm and melty.
Notes
- Best served fresh.
- You can customize with different cheeses or add vegetables.
