Steps
- 1Toast the split English muffins in a dry skillet, cut-side down, for 2 minutes, until golden and crisp.
- 2In the same skillet, cook the turkey sausage patties over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through (internal temp 74°C/165°F).
- 3Push the sausage to one side, crack the eggs into the skillet, and fry for 2-3 minutes, until whites are fully set and yolks are just firm.
- 4Layer each muffin with a sausage patty, a cheese slice, and a fried egg while still hot so the cheese melts, then top with the other muffin half.
Tips
- Break the yolks before flipping if you prefer a fully set, non-runny egg.
- Wrap in foil to hold heat if making ahead for a grab-and-go breakfast.
