Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 English muffins
- 2 Breakfast sausage patties
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 Cheddar cheese slices
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the vegetable oil to the skillet. Once the oil is hot, place the sausage patties in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are browned and thoroughly cooked. Remove the sausage patties from the skillet and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
While the sausage is cooking, split the English muffins and toast them until they are golden brown.
In a separate medium-sized skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and melt over medium-low heat. Crack both eggs into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks. Season the eggs with salt and black pepper.
Cook the eggs for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are fully set and the yolks are still slightly runny. If you prefer a fully cooked yolk, flip the eggs and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each cooked sausage patty to let it melt slightly.
Butter the toasted English muffins lightly with the remaining tablespoon of butter.
To assemble the sandwich, place one sausage patty with melted cheese on the bottom half of each English muffin. Top with a fried egg.
Cover with the top half of the English muffin and serve immediately, while hot.
