Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • 6 English muffins split and toasted
  • 6 large eggs
  • 6 sausage patties store-bought or homemade
  • 6 slices of American cheese or cheddar, if preferred
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Instructions:
  • Cook the Sausage Patties:
  • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage patties until browned and cooked through, about 3–4 minutes per side. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Cook the Eggs:
  • Wipe out the skillet and add a small amount of butter or oil. Crack eggs into the skillet one at a time and cook them using your preferred method—fried, scrambled, or in a round egg ring for the classic look. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the whites are set and yolks are to your liking. For meal prep, you can also bake the eggs in a muffin tin at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes.
  • Assemble the Muffins:
  • Place one slice of cheese on the bottom half of each toasted English muffin. Add a sausage patty on top of the cheese, followed by a cooked egg. Cap with the top half of the muffin.
  • Serve or Store:
  • Serve immediately while hot and melty. For storage, wrap each sandwich in foil or parchment paper, let cool completely, then refrigerate or freeze.
