Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Split the English muffin and set aside. Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. Step 2

    Add sausage patty to dry skillet. Cook 2 minutes, then flip and cook 2 minutes until edges brown.

  3. Step 3

    Slide sausage to the edge of the pan. Add 0.5 tsp butter to the center, then crack the egg into it.

  4. Step 4

    Season egg with salt and pepper. Cook until whites set but yolk jiggles slightly, 3–4 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    While egg finishes, toast the English muffin halves in a separate dry skillet or toaster until golden.

  6. Step 6

    Lay cheese slice on the sausage patty. Cover pan 30 seconds until cheese just melts.

  7. Step 7

    Place sausage with cheese on bottom muffin, then egg on top. Cap with top muffin half and serve immediately.
