Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 6 English muffins
- 6 eggs
- 6 slices of cheese
- 6 sausage patties
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place sausage patties on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
- While sausages are cooking, crack eggs into a greased muffin tin, creating one egg per cup. Season each egg with salt and pepper.
- Bake eggs in the oven alongside sausages for 10-12 minutes, or until egg whites are set and yolks are cooked to your preference.
- Split English muffins and lightly toast them until golden brown.
- Once cooked, remove sausages and eggs from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes.
- Assemble sandwiches by placing a slice of cheese on the bottom half of each English muffin.
- Add a cooked sausage patty on top of the cheese.
- Carefully place a baked egg on top of the sausage patty.
- Top with the other half of the English muffin.
- Wrap each sandwich individually in aluminum foil or plastic wrap for easy storage.
- Refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in microwave or oven before serving.
Tips
- Use parchment paper when baking to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
- For perfectly cooked eggs, use a muffin tin to create uniform, portion-controlled eggs that fit perfectly on your sandwich.
- When freezing, wrap each sandwich individually in aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn and make reheating easier.
- For best reheating results, thaw frozen sandwiches in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in the oven at 350°F for crispy muffins.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like cheddar, pepper jack, or Swiss to keep things interesting.
- If you're watching calories, use turkey sausage or Canadian bacon as a leaner protein option.
- Add a dash of hot sauce or everything bagel seasoning to customize your sandwich's flavor profile.
