Step 1
Split the English muffin and set aside. Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Add sausage patty to dry skillet. Cook 2 minutes, then flip and cook 2 minutes until edges brown.
Step 3
Slide sausage to the edge of the pan. Add 0.5 tsp butter to the center, then crack the egg into it.
Step 4
Season egg with salt and pepper. Cook until whites set but yolk jiggles slightly, 3–4 minutes.
Step 5
While egg finishes, toast the English muffin halves in a separate dry skillet or toaster until golden.
Step 6
Lay cheese slice on the sausage patty. Cover pan 30 seconds until cheese just melts.
Step 7
Place sausage with cheese on bottom muffin, then egg on top. Cap with top muffin half and serve immediately.
