by


Recreate the beloved McMuffin at home with this simple and delicious recipe. Perfect for breakfast on the go or a cozy weekend morning!

Ingredient:


For Each McMuffin:
1 English muffin, split and toasted 🥯


1 sausage patty (homemade or store-bought) 🥩
1 large egg 🥚


1 slice American cheese 🧀
1 tsp butter 🧈
For Homemade Sausage Patties (Optional):
1/2 lb ground pork 🐖
1/2 tsp salt 🧂
1/4 tsp black pepper 🌶️
1/4 tsp ground sage 🌿
1/4 tsp garlic powder 🧄
1/4 tsp onion powder 🧅
Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)


Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Sausage Patties
    If making homemade patties: Mix ground pork with salt, pepper, sage, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne (if using). Shape into patties slightly larger than the English muffins, as they will shrink while cooking.
    Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage patties for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and fully cooked (internal temperature of 160°F/71°C).
  2. Cook the Egg
    Lightly grease a round egg ring or biscuit cutter and place it in a skillet over medium heat.
    Crack the egg into the ring and break the yolk with a fork. Add a splash of water to the pan and cover it with a lid. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the egg is set. Remove the ring.
  1. Toast the English Muffins
    Spread butter on the cut sides of the English muffin halves and toast them in a skillet or toaster until golden.
  2. Assemble the McMuffin
    Place the bottom half of the English muffin on a plate.
    Layer with the sausage patty, egg, and slice of American cheese.
    Top with the remaining English muffin half.
  3. Serve and Enjoy
    Wrap in parchment or foil for an authentic McDonald’s feel, or serve immediately with your favorite sides!
    Tips for Perfection
    Cheese melt: Place the cheese on the egg or sausage while still hot for perfect melting.
    Egg ring hack: If you don’t have an egg ring, use a cleaned mason jar lid or a round cookie cutter.
    Customize: Add crispy bacon, avocado, or a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor.
