Sausage Egg & Cheese Breakfast Sandwich
Juicy homemade sausage patty, folded egg, melted American cheese, and a buttery toasted English muffin — better than any fast food breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 teaspoon dried sage
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices American cheese
- 4 English muffins
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Mix ground pork with seasonings and shape into 4 thin patties slightly wider than the muffins.
- Cook patties in a skillet over medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side until cooked through.
- Toast buttered muffin halves in the same skillet until golden.
- Cook eggs in greased ring molds, covered, for 90 seconds.
- Layer cheese, egg, sausage on bottom muffin and top with the other half. Serve immediately.
Notes
Internal sausage temperature should reach 160°F.
American cheese gives the signature melt — don't substitute.
