Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the vegetarian sausage patties to the skillet and cook according to the package instructions, usually around 5-7 minutes per side until heated through and lightly browned.
While the sausages are cooking, slice the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.
In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and beat them with the salt and pepper until well mixed.
Remove the cooked sausage patties from the skillet and set aside. Lower the heat to medium-low and add half the butter to the skillet.
Pour the beaten eggs into the buttered skillet and allow to cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes. Using a spatula, gently scramble the eggs until just set but still slightly runny.
Add the baby spinach to the eggs and gently fold to wilt the spinach.
Butter the toasted English muffins with the remaining butter.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing a cooked sausage patty on the bottom half of each English muffin, followed by a slice of cheddar cheese.
Top with scrambled eggs and spinach, then add a slice of tomato on each.
Cover with the top halves of the English muffins to complete the sandwiches.
Serve immediately while still warm, and enjoy your vegetarian egg and sausage breakfast sandwich.
