How to Make an Egg Breakfast Sandwich
Since the sausage takes the longest to cook, youll want to cook them first. You can make air fryer breakfast sausage or fry them on the stove in a large nonstick skillet.
Next, fry the sunny side up eggs over medium heat, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. My kids hate a runny egg yolk, so we cook the eggs until the yolks are nice and firm. If you prefer a runny yolk, just cook eggs for less time.
You can also bake the eggs if youre cooking a bunch. Personally, I dont like the texture, so the stovetop method works for me!
Then, toast the English muffins. You can also toast the muffins in the air fryer or bake them in the oven. Whatever works best for you!
Now, its time to assemble the sandwich. Start by placing a slice of cheese on the cooked egg.
Of course, you can add as much cheese as you like!
Then, place the cooked sausage patty on the bottom half of the English muffin. Top it with the fried egg.
Top the egg with cheese if you havent done so already. Finally, add the top of the muffin over the cheese. Easy peasy, right?!
Store any leftover breakfast sausage patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where theyll last for 3 to 4 days.
You can also freeze the breakfast egg sandwiches for later. Just wrap them in freezer paper or wax paper and store in a freezer bag.
To reheat, wrap the sandwiches in a paper towel, and heat on the reheat setting or defrost in the microwave.
There are a few easy ways to customize this easy breakfast sandwich recipe.
Instead of English muffins, use toasted bread slices, such as sourdough bread, sub sandwich bread, or rye bread.
Use whatever type of cheese you want. We like American cheese, but gouda cheese, pepper jack cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, and Monterey jack cheese are all great options.
Want more flavor? Top this delicious egg sandwich with a couple dashes of hot sauce, your favorite salsa, ketchup or BBQ sauce. Or, butter the English muffins before assembling the McMuffin.
Add some crispy bacon or Canadian bacon for extra meat.
You can also make these breakfast sandwiches meatless! Just leave out the patty, and add some fresh veggies, such as red peppers, red onions, green onions, or tomato slices.
