McDonald's Sausage Egg McMuffin
Description
McDonald's Sausage Egg McMuffin features thinly pressed breakfast sausages cooked evenly in a skillet, paired with gently toasted English muffins spread with softened butter. Eggs are gently cooked in round molds or canning lids with a bit of water steam to set the whites and yolks thoroughly. The eggs are topped with American cheese that melts perfectly onto the patty. The sandwich layers balance crisp-toast texture with the soft, savory elements of sausage and an enriched egg-cheese combination, providing a familiar taste reminiscent of the original fast-food version.
Preparing this sandwich allows control over ingredients and doneness, avoiding the typical fast-food uniformity. The method of breaking the yolk before cooking ensures the egg cooks evenly throughout. Assembled hot, the sandwich is ideal served fresh to keep cheese melted and the muffin soft yet crisp.
Toasting the English muffins until golden and using butter on both halves enhances the overall texture and flavor. Using egg rings or jar lids helps maintain the sandwich’s signature round shape.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter butter has divided uses, softened
- 4 English Muffin
- 1/2 pound breakfast sausage
- 1/2 cup water
- 4 lices American cheese
Instructions
- Divide sausage into four patties. Press out patties fairly thin. Cook sausage patties over medium heat in a skillet for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, drain on paper towels.
- Split open English Muffins and place them into a toaster, toast the English Muffins.
- Remove the English muffins from the toaster and spread softened butter on both halves.
- Place the 1 slice of cooked sausage on each English muffin bottom.
- Add about 1 tablespoon of butter to the same skillet where you cooked the sausage.
- Place the quart-sized canning lids screw side up (or you can use an egg ring) into the skillet.
- Spray the canning lid with non-stick spray. Crack an egg into each of the rings.
- Break the yolk with a folk. Pour about 1/2 cup of water into the skillet, and place a lid on top. Cook until the eggs are set, it should take about two minutes.
- Gently remove the eggs from the rings, and place one egg on each piece of cooked sausage.
- Top each egg with one slice of American cheese, top cheese with the top of the English muffin.
- Wrap each egg McMuffin with foil or parchment paper. Wait about 30 seconds before serving.
Notes
- Use egg rings or similarly sized canning lids to achieve uniformly round eggs.
- Breaking the egg yolks before cooking helps the eggs set evenly and melt the cheese better.
- Toast the English muffins until golden brown for improved texture contrast.
- Allow the assembled sandwich to rest briefly to let the cheese melt and flavors meld.
