This easy English Muffin Breakfast Sandwich Recipe layers fluffy scrambled eggs, sausage patties, and melty cheese on a toasted English muffin-perfect for meal prep or busy weekdays.

This is hands-down my favorite kind of English Muffin Breakfast Sandwich!! Warm, cozy, and packed with melty cheese. I was going for that classic McDonald's-style egg muffin vibe, but made it homemade, and way better. I usually make these using my homemade English muffins (you can totally use store-bought!), and they're great for prepping ahead and freezing. Sometimes I swap the sausage patty for Canadian bacon or regular bacon, depending on what I have. But the best part? These reheat so well. Just a minute or two in the toaster oven and you've got a fast, delicious breakfast sandwich that tastes better than anything drive-thru.

Ingredients

English muffins - Use homemade which I have a recipe right here, or grab your favorite brand from the store. Toasted english muffins hold up perfectly to the fillings.
Sausage patties - You can also sub in Canadian bacon or regular bacon for a different spin on your breakfast meats.
Large eggs - Scrambled into a soft egg mixture with a splash of milk for fluffiness.
Splash of milk - Makes the egg mixture extra light and tender.
Cheddar cheese slices - Or go with classic American cheese, pepper jack, or whatever melty cheese you love.
Butter or oil - Just a bit to melt in the pan for cooking.
Salt and pepper - To taste.

Step By Step

Cook the sausage: Place the sausage patties in a skillet over medium heat or medium-high heat and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Set aside on a baking sheet or plate.
Scramble the eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, splash of milk, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in a nonstick pan over medium-low heat and pour in the egg mixture. Gently stir with a spatula until fluffy and just set, about 2-3 minutes. Divide into 6 portions.
Toast the muffins: Split each English muffin (fork-split if homemade) and toast until golden brown. A toaster oven or regular oven both work well for this step.
Assemble the sandwiches: On the bottom half of the muffin, layer a sausage patty, a serving of food worth of scrambled eggs, and a slice of cheese. Top with the other half of the muffin.
Serve or prep: Serve warm, or wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap or foil for meal prep. Store in the fridge or a freezer-safe bag for later.
