Homemade Sausage Egg McMuffin Recipe

Rebecca
I can’t tell you how much joy I feel biting into a homemade sausage egg McMuffin! I used to think it was only possible to enjoy this favorite at a drive-thru. But once I made it myself, I realized how easy, tastier, and customizable it could be. 
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • Breakfast sausage patties 4
  • English muffins 4, split
  • Large eggs 4
  • Cheese slices 4, such as American
  • Butter small amount for toasting, optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and place the sausage patties in it. Cook them for about 4-5 minutes per side until they’re browned and fully cooked through. When ready, transfer them onto a plate lined with paper towels to soak up excess grease.
  • While the sausages cook, split the English muffins and lightly toast them in a toaster. If you want extra flavor, spread a small amount of butter on each half before toasting. Toast until golden and slightly crisp.
  • Crack the eggs into the same skillet, keeping the yolks intact if you like them runny. Use an egg ring if you want neat, even circles. Cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and flip them if you prefer firm yolks. Set them aside once done.
  • Start building your sandwich by placing a slice of cheese on the bottom half of a toasted muffin. Add the sausage patty, then the cooked egg, and finally close it with the top muffin half. The heat from the sausage and muffin will naturally melt the cheese.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients to make all your sandwiches. Serve them while warm and enjoy the gooey, hearty deliciousness with every bite.

Notes

  • Don’t overcook the sausage patties to keep them juicy and flavorful. Flip them just once during cooking.
  • If you want extra fluffy eggs, whisk them lightly with a fork before cooking.
  • Toast the muffins lightly so they stay soft on the inside yet crispy outside.
  • Layer cheese next to warm ingredients like the sausage to ensure it melts perfectly.
  • Assemble sandwiches while everything is still hot for the best texture and taste.
