Begin by splitting the English muffins with a knife and set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Place the sausage patties in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until fully cooked and browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, cook the bacon strips until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove bacon and drain on paper towels.
Wipe out any excess grease from the skillet, then melt the butter over medium heat.
Crack the eggs into the skillet, taking care not to break the yolks. Season eggs with salt and pepper.
Cook the eggs for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set, then carefully flip them and cook for another 1-2 minutes for slightly runny yolks or longer for firmer yolks.
While eggs are cooking, toast the English muffins in a toaster or under a broiler until golden brown.
Place a slice of American cheese on the bottom half of each toasted English muffin.
Assemble each sandwich by placing a cooked sausage patty on top of the cheese, followed by a cooked egg and two slices of bacon.
Top with the other half of the English muffin. Serve warm and enjoy!
