I’ve been forced to be creative and work around my usual schedule while working from home during the pandemic. I created this portable air fryer version of my “famous” breakfast muffin to send with my husband in the mornings while I still enjoy it from the comfort of my home. Nothing compares to this at the quick food chain.

Ingredients
- nonstick cooking spray
- 1 large egg
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 (1.2 oz) patty fully cooked breakfast sausage
- 1 medium English muffin, split
- 1 slice American cheese
Instructions
- Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Center a mason jar lid, upside down, on a 5-inch square of aluminum foil. Fold the foil up and around the lid to act as a round mold. Spray the foil with nonstick spray and crack egg into the center. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place egg mold and frozen sausage patty next to each other in the air fryer basket; cook for 4 minutes. Flip sausage patty over, add English muffin halves, and cook 4 minutes more.
- Place one English muffin half on a sheet of parchment paper. Add cheese, sausage patty, and egg. Top with remaining English muffin half. Wrap and go.

Clever idea! Cook times worked well. I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to use both parts of the lid or just the ring. I tried with just the ring (making a base with foil and wrapping around the sides). That worked but a lot of egg got stuck in the foil creases, even though I sprayed it. I’ll try it next time with the lid insert, too. May be worth using non-stick foil.
