Instructions
- Cook Sausage Patties: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage patties until browned and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Prepare Eggs: Wipe the skillet clean if needed and add butter or oil. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook to your preference—either scrambled or fried. Season with salt and pepper.
- Toast Muffins: Toast the English muffins until golden brown to add a crispy texture and warm base for the sandwich.
- Assemble Sandwiches: On the bottom half of each toasted muffin, layer one sausage patty, followed by the cooked egg and a slice of cheddar cheese. Top with the other half of the muffin to complete the sandwich.
- Serve and Customize: Serve the sandwiches warm and garnish with optional toppings such as hot sauce, avocado slices, or fresh spinach according to your preference.
Notes
- To make these sandwiches ahead of time, wrap them individually in foil and refrigerate or freeze. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving to enjoy a quick breakfast.
- If you want to vary the bread, English muffins can be substituted with bagels or croissants for a different texture and flavor.
