  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 6 sandwiches

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 6 slices cheddar cheese
  • 6 whole grain English muffins
  • 6 turkey sausage patties (pre-cooked)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat Skillet: Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with olive oil or butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook Eggs: Crack each egg into a greased mason jar lid or egg ring placed in the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the eggs are set and cooked through to your liking.
  3. Toast Muffins: While eggs cook, toast the whole grain English muffins in a toaster or oven until golden brown and crisp.
  4. Assemble Sandwich: On the bottom half of each English muffin, layer one pre-cooked turkey sausage patty, then a cooked egg, followed by a slice of cheddar cheese.
  5. Melt Cheese: Return the assembled bottom halves to the skillet, cover with a lid, and heat until the cheese melts thoroughly.
  6. Finish Sandwich: Top each with the remaining muffin halves and let the sandwiches rest for a minute to meld the flavors before serving.
  7. Serve or Store: Serve hot immediately, or wrap in foil for storing and reheat later for a quick breakfast option.

Notes

  • Use foil to store sandwiches to preserve texture and freshness.
  • Reheat sandwiches in an oven or air fryer for the best texture and flavor.
  • For variety, try adding sautéed veggies or substitute different cheese types.
