Description

Enjoy a homemade version of the classic McDonald’s breakfast sandwich with this easy recipe for Sausage, Egg, & Cheese McMuffins. Perfect for a quick and satisfying breakfast, these McMuffins combine toasted English muffins, savory sausage, fluffy eggs, and melted cheese for a delicious start to your day.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 English muffins, split and toasted
  • 4 sausage patties
  • 4 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or your preferred choice)
  • 4 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  • Prepare the English Muffins:
    • Butter each half of the English muffins and toast them on a skillet or griddle until golden brown. Set aside.
  • Cook the Sausage:
    • In the same skillet, cook the sausage patties over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Set aside on a plate.
  • Cook the Eggs:
    • Grease a ring mold or mason jar lid (without the top) and place it on the skillet. Crack an egg into each mold and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking. Remove from the molds once cooked.
  • Assemble the McMuffins:
    • Place a slice of cheese on the bottom half of each toasted English muffin. Top with a sausage patty, then place the cooked egg on top. Cover with the top half of the muffin.
  • Serve:
    • Serve immediately for the best taste, or wrap them in foil or parchment paper if you plan to reheat later.

Notes

  • Even Cooking: Flatten the sausage patties slightly before cooking so they fit the muffins better and cook evenly.
  • Egg Freshness: Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and appearance.
  • Assembly Tip: Assembling with the cheese first, then sausage, followed by the egg helps the cheese melt with the heat from the sausage and egg.
