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.
