Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole English muffin
- 1 piece Vegetarian sausage patty
- 1 whole Large egg
- 1 piece Cheese slice
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler or a countertop toaster oven.
Split the English muffin in half and spread butter evenly on the cut sides.
Place the English muffin halves, buttered side up, on a baking sheet and toast them under the broiler for 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the vegetarian sausage patty according to the package instructions, typically 3-5 minutes per side until heated through.
While the sausage is cooking, prepare the egg. Crack the egg into a small bowl, season it with salt and black pepper, and beat it lightly.
In another section of the skillet or in a separate small non-stick pan over medium heat, pour the egg and let it cook without stirring, forming a round omelet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway if desired, until thoroughly cooked.
Once the egg is cooked, place the cheese slice on top of the egg in the skillet to soften slightly.
To assemble the sandwich, place the cooked vegetarian sausage patty on the bottom half of the toasted English muffin.
Layer the egg and cheese on top of the sausage patty.
Cover with the top half of the English muffin and serve hot.
