Ingredients
Scale
- 1 English muffin
- 1 sausage patty
- 1 slice of cheese
- 1 large egg
- Butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Split the English muffin in half and toast it until it’s golden brown and crispy.
- Cook the sausage patty over medium heat until it’s nicely browned and cooked through—about 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Crack the egg gently in the same skillet and cook it to your preferred doneness, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Place the cooked sausage patty on the bottom half of the toasted muffin, add the slice of cheese, and then top it with the freshly cooked egg.
- Spread butter on the top half of the muffin and close the sandwich. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
For a spicier kick, add hot sauce or pepper jack cheese. Substitute turkey or plant-based sausage for a healthier option.
