Ingredients
For the Sandwich
- 1 Egg, Grade A Large
- 1 English muffin, toasted
- 1 slice American cheese
- Butter
For the Breakfast Sausage
- 1 lb ground pork
- 2 teaspoons dried sage
- 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- pinch cayenne
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Preparation
Mix the sausage
In a bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well.
Cook the patties
For the sausage mixture into small balls. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and lightly coat the pan with oil. Place one of the balls of the sausage mixture in the pan and press with a spatula to flatten. __cook until well browned on one side, flip and brown on the second side until cooked through.
Perfect the egg
Place a nonstick pan over medium heat. Carefully set a ring mold in the center of the pan and spray the pan and ring mold with oil. Crack an egg into the ring mold. With the tip of a knife, pierce the egg yolk. If the egg white begins to bubble in any spot, pierce the bubble with the tip of the knife as well.
Pour approximately ¼ cup water into the pan and quickly cover with a lid. Let the egg cook, covered for 2 minutes and check for doneness. If the egg is cooked through remove from the pan with a spatula and remove the ring mold.
Sandwich assembly
Slice and toast the English muffin and lightly spread with the butter.
Top the toasted muffin bottom with a slice of American cheese, then a sausage patty and the egg patty before adding the toasted muffin top. If you wish, you can also melt the cheese on the sausage patty in the pan.
