Ingredients

Instructions
-
Prepare the English Muffins: Split and toast the English muffins to your desired level of crispiness. Butter them for extra flavor.
-
Cook the Sausage Patties: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage patties for about 3-4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
-
Cook the Eggs: Grease the skillet and use egg rings to shape the eggs. Crack an egg into each ring, break the yolk if desired, and season with salt and pepper. Add a little water to the skillet and cover with a lid to steam the eggs until set, about 2-3 minutes.
-
Assemble the McMuffins: Place a slice of American cheese on the bottom half of each toasted muffin, add the sausage patty, followed by the egg. Top with the other half of the muffin.
-
Serve Immediately: Enjoy your homemade Sausage, Egg, & Cheese McMuffin warm, or wrap it for a convenient breakfast on-the-go.
Notes
-
For a cheese variation, cheddar, pepper jack, or Swiss cheese work great.
-
You can store assembled McMuffins in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze them for up to 1 month.
