For the Sandwich
For the Sandwich
- 1 Egg, Grade A Large
- 1 English muffin, toasted
- 1 slice American cheese
- Butter
For the Breakfast Sausage
- 1 pound/450g ground pork or turkey
- 2 teaspoons dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- pinch cayenne
- 2 tablespoons/30ml cold water
Preparation
Mix the sausage in a bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well.
Cook the patties
- For the sausage mixture into small balls. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and lightly coat the pan with oil. Place one of the balls of the sausage mixture in the pan and press with a spatula to flatten. Cook until well browned on one side, flip and brown on the second side until cooked through.
Perfect the egg
- Place a nonstick pan over medium heat. Carefully set a ring mold in the center of the pan and spray the pan and ring mold with oil. Crack an egg into the ring mold. With the tip of a knife, pierce the egg yolk. If the egg white begins to bubble in any spot, pierce the bubble with the tip of the knife as well.
- Pour approximately ¼ cup water into the pan and quickly cover with a lid. Let the egg cook, covered for 2 minutes and check for doneness. If the egg is cooked through remove from the pan with a spatula and remove the ring mold.
Sandwich assembly
- Slice and toast the English muffin and lightly spread with the butter.
- Top the toasted muffin bottom with a slice of American cheese, then a sausage patty and the egg patty before adding the toasted muffin top. If you wish, you can also melt the cheese on the sausage patty in the pan.

ro Tips for the Best Results
- Make-ahead sausage — Mix the sausage and refrigerate up to 2 days or freeze formed patties for up to 1 month.
- Turkey option — Ground turkey makes a lighter version — just be careful not to overcook.
- Ring mold hack — If you don’t have one, the water-steam method still gives a nice round egg.
- Spice level — Start mild and adjust cayenne and sugar to your family’s taste.
- Storage — Assembled sandwiches can be wrapped and reheated in a skillet or air fryer for best texture.
