Sausage, Egg and Cheese English Muffin

Ingredients

• English muffins 4 (228 g)
• Pork breakfast sausage meat 250 g
• Eggs 4 large (200 g)
• American cheese slices 4 (80 g)
• Butter 1 tbsp (14 g)
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. 1

   Divide the sausage meat into 4 portions and press each into a thin patty about 10 cm wide, a little wider than the muffins, as they shrink when cooked.

2. 2

   Fry the patties in a frying pan over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned and 71C in the center; drain on paper towels and pour the fat out of the pan.

3. 3

   Split the English muffins, toast them and spread the cut sides with half of the butter.

4. 4

   Melt the remaining butter in the pan over medium-low heat, set 4 greased egg rings in it and crack an egg into each; pierce the yolks and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Cover the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the eggs are set, then remove the rings.

6. 6

   Lay a cheese slice on each hot sausage patty so it softens.

7. 7

   Build each sandwich from the bottom muffin half, the sausage with cheese, the egg and the top half, and serve hot.
