| Yield: | 6 sandwiches |
Ingredients
- 6 sausage patties
- coconut oil cooking spray
- 6 eggs, divided
- 6 dashes cayenne pepper, divided
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 6 whole grain English muffins, split and toasted
- 6 slices American processed cheese
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook sausage patties in the hot skillet, turning often, until sausage is cooked through and browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove patties to a paper-towel lined plate.
- Meanwhile, coat a 3-inch mini frying pan with coconut oil cooking spray and place over medium heat. Whisk 1 egg and 1 dash of cayenne pepper in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture into frying pan. Cook, without stirring, until set on the bottom, about 1 1/2 minutes. Flip egg and cook, without stirring, until set on the other side, about 1 minute more. Remove from heat, place on a plate, and repeat with remaining eggs and cayenne pepper.
- Assemble breakfast sandwiches when eggs and sausage are cool: place an egg patty on the bottom piece of an English muffin, top with a slice of cheese, a sausage patty, and the English muffin top. Wrap in aluminum foil and freeze.
- Unwrap and microwave each sandwich for 2 minutes when ready to eat.

Reviews
I love Egg McMuffins, but I like homemade ones even better because you can choose your cheese and your favorite breakfast sausage or really crisp bacon instead of the wimpy bacon they usually use at fast food places. Anyway, this is a great way to get the morning going without having to wait in line or cook before work. You can have your coffee, breakfast sandwich and watch the news without cooking.
