Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Muffin Recipe

American · Main course · 15 min total

A classic homemade breakfast sandwich with a savory sausage patty, fluffy scrambled egg, and melted cheese on a toasted English muffin.

Ingredients

• 1 English muffin, split
• 2 breakfast sausage links (or 1 patty), casings removed if using links
• 1 large egg
• 1 slice American cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter, softened
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Form the sausage into a thin patty slightly larger than the English muffin. Cook in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
2. Reduce heat to medium. Crack the egg into the skillet and cook to your liking (sunny-side up or flipped for over-easy), seasoning with salt and pepper. For a round egg that fits the muffin, use a ring mold or cook the egg and trim edges.
3. While the egg cooks, toast the English muffin halves. Spread butter on cut sides.
4. Assemble: Place the sausage patty on the bottom muffin half, top with the cooked egg, then a slice of cheese. Place the top muffin half on the cheese. Serve immediately.

Tips

• For a less greasy sandwich, cook the sausage first and drain excess fat before cooking the egg.
• To make ahead, assemble and wrap in foil; reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes.
• Add a slice of cooked bacon or a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor.
