1. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
2. Split all 4 English muffins in half and lightly toast them. Set aside.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix until evenly seasoned.
4. Form the ground pork mixture into 4 flat, round sausage patties, approximately the size of the English muffins.
5. Cook the sausage patties in the preheated skillet for 4-5 minutes per side or until they are fully cooked and browned. Remove and set aside.
6. Clean the skillet if necessary, then melt 1 tablespoon of butter over low heat.
7. Spray an egg ring or biscuit cutter with non-stick cooking spray and place it in the skillet. Crack 1 egg into the ring and cook until the whites are set but the yolk is still soft, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully remove the ring, flip the egg, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining eggs, adding more butter if needed.
8. Assemble the sandwiches by layering a slice of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each English muffin. Top with a sausage patty, a cooked egg, and the top half of the English muffin.
9. Serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper to keep warm for on-the-go breakfasts.
