Ingredients

Scale

English Muffins

  • English muffins, split in half
  • Butter, for toasting muffins

Sausage Patties

  • 1/2 lb ground pork (or turkey sausage or veggie sausage as alternative)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: smoked paprika or cayenne pepper, to taste

Eggs

  • 2 large eggs
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Cheese

  • 2 slices American cheese (or substitute cheddar, pepper jack, or Swiss cheese)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sausage Patties: In a bowl, combine ground pork with salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings like smoked paprika or cayenne. Form into small, round patties roughly the size of your English muffins. Cook on medium heat in a skillet until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  2. Cook the Egg Rounds: Using a round egg ring or the lid of a small jar, crack an egg into the ring set on a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the white is set and the yolk is cooked through. Flip gently if you prefer an over-hard egg, or cook just until set for over-easy style.
  3. Toast the English Muffins: Slice the English muffins in half and butter both sides lightly. Toast them in a separate pan or toaster oven until golden and crisp, adding a lovely crunch and buttery aroma.
  4. Assemble Your McMuffin: Place a cooked sausage patty on the bottom half of each toasted English muffin, top with the egg round, then a slice of American cheese. Close with the top muffin half and press gently to slightly melt the cheese.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately while the sandwich is warm and the cheese is melty. Pair it with your favorite breakfast beverage.

Notes

  • Use fresh ground pork for maximum flavor in the sausage patties.
  • Use an egg ring or metal cookie cutter to keep eggs perfectly round.
  • Butter both sides of the muffin before toasting for rich flavor and crispy texture.
  • Cook eggs on medium-low heat to avoid burning and keep them tender.
  • Cover the assembled sandwich briefly to melt cheese evenly.
