Ingredients

  • 8 oz ground pork
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper
  • 2 whole English muffins
  • 2 slices American cheese or cheddar
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 1 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. 1

    Divide ground pork into two equal portions. Form each into a flat patty about 3 inches wide.

  2. 2

    Season each patty generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

  3. 3

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add sausage patties without moving them.

  4. 4

    Cook until browned and crispy on the first side, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side 3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Place one cheese slice on each patty while still in the skillet. Cover briefly until melted, ~30 seconds.

  6. 6

    Transfer patties to a plate. Crack eggs into the same skillet and cook sunny-side up until whites set, ~3 minutes.

  7. 7

    Split English muffins in half and toast them cut-side down in a clean skillet with a dab of butter until golden, ~2 minutes.

  8. 8

    Place one sausage patty and one egg on the bottom half of each muffin. Top with the other muffin half.

  9. 9

    Serve immediately while warm.
