Ingredients

  • 6 savory sausage patties
  • A spritz of coconut oil cooking spray
  • A half-dozen eggs, separated
  • Six sprinkles of cayenne pepper, portioned out
  • Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Six whole grain English muffins, halved and lightly toasted
  • Six slices of American processed cheese

Step 1

Begin by heating up a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the sausage patties in the skillet, making sure to turn them frequently, until they are nicely browned and cooked through, which should take around 10 to 12 minutes. Once done, transfer the patties onto a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 2

While the sausage is cooking, prepare a small 3-inch frying pan by spraying it with coconut oil cooking spray. Place it over medium heat. In a small bowl, whisk together one egg, a dash of cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Pour this flavorful egg mixture into the frying pan. Let it cook without stirring until the bottom sets, which should take roughly 1 1/2 minutes. Carefully flip the egg and let it cook on the other side for about 1 more minute. Once cooked, remove from heat, place on a plate, and repeat the process with the remaining eggs and cayenne pepper.

Step 3

Once everything has cooled down a bit, it's time to assemble the breakfast sandwiches. Place an egg patty on the bottom half of an English muffin, followed by a slice of cheese, a sausage patty, and the top half of the English muffin. Wrap each sandwich in aluminum foil and pop them in the freezer.

Step 4

When you're ready to enjoy a delicious breakfast, simply unwrap one sandwich and microwave it for 2 minutes. This will ensure a warm and satisfying meal to kickstart your day.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Choose the Right Ingredients: Select high-quality, fresh ingredients for your breakfast sandwiches to ensure they stay flavorful and satisfying after being stored.
  2. 2. Layering is Key: Start with a sturdy base like an English muffin or a bagel, then layer your ingredients strategically to prevent sogginess.
  3. 3. Wrap it Up: Use parchment paper or wax paper to wrap your breakfast sandwiches individually. This helps keep them fresh and prevents the flavors from mingling.
