Equipment

  • large cast iron skillet
  • non-stick skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • parchment paper
  • egg rings or cookie cutters

Ingredients
  

Sausage Patties

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ¼ teaspoon dried basil
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon oil for cooking

Breakfast Sandwich Assembly

  • 4 pieces English muffins
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter for cooking
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 slices cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

For the Sausages

  • In a bowl, combine the pork with the breakfast sausage seasoning: dried thyme, dried rosemary, dried basil, brown sugar, maple syrup, salt, and pepper.
  • Divide the pork into 6 servings and roll them into balls before flattening them into a patty shape on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
  • In a large cast iron, heat up oil over medium heat. Then add the patties to the cast iron, avoid overlapping them.
  • Cook the breakfast sausages for 4 minutes per side or until the internal temperature has reached 160F.

For Everything Else

  • Place a non-stick skillet on medium heat, melt a tablespoon of butter. Place four egg rings in the skillet and add an egg inside each.
  • Toast the English muffins using your favourite method.
  • Once everything is cooked, assemble your breakfast sandwiches in the order: sausage, cheese, then egg.

Notes

Use the extra patties for another breakfast or divide the meat mixture into 4 large patties instead of 6.
