Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Split the English muffins in half and toast them to a golden brown. Set them aside.
Divide the ground breakfast sausage into two equal portions, then shape each portion into a round patty slightly larger than the English muffin base. Press them flat for even cooking.
In the preheated skillet, cook the sausage patties for 4-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F). Remove them from the skillet and keep warm.
Lightly grease the skillet with a bit of butter or non-stick cooking spray. Use an egg ring or mason jar lid to create a round shape for the eggs. Place the egg ring in the skillet and spray lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Crack one egg into the egg ring and break the yolk slightly with a fork or spatula. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, flipping carefully, until fully set. Repeat for the second egg.
Assemble the sandwiches: Place the sausage patty on the bottom half of a toasted English muffin. Top with a slice of American cheese, the cooked egg, and then the muffin top.
Optionally, wrap the assembled sandwiches in parchment paper or foil to let the flavors meld for a minute before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Sausage Egg McMuffin!
