Description

Wake up to a delicious, homemade sausage and egg McMuffin! This easy recipe will help you create a classic breakfast sandwich that’s perfect for busy mornings or a leisurely brunch. With savory sausage, a perfectly cooked egg, melted cheese, and a toasted English muffin, you’ll enjoy every bite of this homemade delight.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 English muffins, split and toasted
  • 4 sausage patties
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 slices of American cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Toast the English Muffins

  • Split the English muffins and toast them until golden brown. Set aside.

2. Cook the Sausage Patties

  • Form the sausage meat into 4 patties, slightly larger than the English muffins (they’ll shrink when cooking).
  • Cook the sausage patties in a skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Set aside.

3. Cook the Eggs

  • For perfectly round eggs:
    • Grease the inside of egg rings or large cookie cutters.
    • Place the rings in the skillet and crack an egg into each ring.
    • Cook for about 2-3 minutes, then carefully remove the rings.
    • Flip the eggs and cook for another minute for over-medium eggs.

4. Assemble the Sandwich

  • Place a sausage patty on the bottom half of each English muffin.
  • Top with a slice of American cheese.
  • Add the cooked egg.
  • Place the top half of the English muffin to complete the sandwich.

5. Optional Step

  • Wrap each sandwich in parchment paper and let sit for a minute. This will melt the cheese and steam the muffin slightly.

Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade sausage and egg McMuffin!

Notes

  • Make-Ahead Option: Prepare the sausage patties in advance and freeze them. Cooked patties can be reheated quickly for a fast breakfast.
  • Healthier Alternatives: Use whole wheat English muffins, turkey sausage, or egg whites for a healthier version.
  • Additional Toppings: Add a slice of tomato, avocado, or a handful of fresh spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
