Step 1
Split the 2 English muffins and toast them in a toaster or under a broiler until golden, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
Step 2
Divide the 4 oz sausage into 2 equal portions and shape each into a thin patty, slightly larger than the muffin.
Step 3
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the sausage patties until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
In the same skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter. Crack the 2 eggs into the skillet, keeping them separate. Season with 0.25 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper.
Step 5
Cook the eggs sunny-side up until the whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes. If you prefer firmer yolks, flip and cook 1 minute more.
Step 6
Place a slice of cheddar on each sausage patty, then top with an egg. Assemble the sandwiches with the toasted muffin halves.
Step 7
Serve immediately, while the cheese is melted and the yolks are warm.
