Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 8 English muffins, split
- 8 sausage patties
- 8 eggs
- 8 slices cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter for frying
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 8 English muffins, 8 sausage patties, 8 eggs, 8 slices of cheese, salt, pepper, and butter for frying.
- Preheat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add a small amount of butter to the pan, allowing it to melt and coat the bottom.
- Place the sausage patties in the skillet. Cook them for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Once done, remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, crack the eggs one at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Season the eggs with salt and pepper to taste. Cook the eggs to your desired doneness: sunny-side up, over-easy, or fully cooked. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- While the eggs are cooking, split the English muffins in half and toast them in a toaster or on a separate skillet until they are golden brown.
- Once the eggs are cooked, place a slice of cheese on top of each egg, allowing it to melt slightly from the heat of the egg.
- Assemble the sandwiches by placing a sausage patty on the bottom half of each toasted English muffin, followed by the cheesy egg, and then topping it with the other half of the muffin.
- To freeze the sandwiches, wrap each sandwich individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, ensuring they are tightly sealed to prevent freezer burn.
- Label the wrapped sandwiches with the date and place them in the freezer. They can be stored for up to 2 months.
- When ready to eat, remove a sandwich from the freezer and unwrap it. Reheat it in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes.
Tips
- Ingredient Quality Matters: Choose high-quality sausage and cheese for the best flavor. You can also experiment with different types of cheese, like pepper jack or cheddar, to mix things up!
- Customize Your Eggs: Feel free to cook the eggs to your liking—sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled. You can also add veggies like spinach or bell peppers for extra nutrition.
- Toast for Texture: Toasting the English muffins not only adds a delightful crunch but also helps prevent them from becoming soggy when frozen.
- Wrap It Right: Make sure to wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. Double wrapping can provide extra protection.
- Reheating Options: For a crispy finish, consider reheating the sandwiches in the oven instead of the microwave. This will help maintain that freshly toasted texture.
- Batch Cooking: Make a double batch and stock your freezer! These sandwiches make for a quick breakfast or snack option any day of the week.
- Label and Date: Don’t forget to label your sandwiches with the date they were made. This will help you keep track of freshness, ensuring you enjoy them at their best!
