Instructions
Cook the sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the pork sausage patties for 3–4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and golden brown. Set aside and keep warm.
Scramble the eggs: In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a splash of milk, salt, and pepper. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour in the eggs and gently stir with a spatula until softly scrambled and just set. Divide into 6 portions.
Toast the muffins: Split and toast the English muffins until golden. Fork-split if using homemade for those signature nooks and crannies.
Assemble the sandwiches: Layer the bottom half of each muffin with a sausage patty, a portion of scrambled eggs, and a slice of cheese. Top with the other half of the muffin.
Serve or store: Serve immediately, or wrap individually in foil or parchment for meal prep. Refrigerate or freeze for later.
