Ingredients
- 12 eggs , divided
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
- 2 cups milk
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 16 oz breakfast sausage (since I was a kid, I use and LOVE Farmer John)
- 2 cups cheddar cheese (I put a half a pound in chunks in my food processor and it gave me perfect little bits)
- 8 large english muffins (If you use a smaller variety like Thomas, you will need 12)
- maple syrup , for topping
Instructions
- Cook sausage on high heat, you want the color on the outside, the rest will bake through in the oven.
- Remove from pan, let cool and slice into chunks.
- Drain/wipe fat from pan if you would like to use butter to cook the eggs. If you want to cook them in sausage fat instead, drain all but about a tablespoon and heat the pan on medium high.
- Break 6 eggs into a bowl, add them to the pan and poke the yolks.
- Stir a bit just to spread the yolks around a bit.
- Cook until just set and remove from pan.
- Spray either your cast iron skillet or 8x8 inch pan with cooking spray.
- Cut the English muffins into chunks and toast at 375 degrees until slightly browned and crispy, about 7-9 minutes.
- Whisk the rest of the eggs, milk, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Add toasted English Muffin chunks, eggs, sausage and cheese in layers to your pan.
- Pour the egg mixture over it evenly.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes.
- Enjoy with maple syrup!
