Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 2 homemade Oregon sausage patties (about 4 oz each) and cook for 4 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, push sausages to the side, crack 1 large egg into the pan and season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Cook for 3 minutes until the whites are set but yolk still slightly runny.
  3. Step 3: While the egg cooks, split and toast 1 English muffin until golden, then spread 1 tbsp butter evenly on each half.
  4. Step 4: On the bottom half of the English muffin, layer the cooked sausage patties, top with 1 slice cheddar cheese, then place the cooked egg on top.
  5. Step 5: Finally, add 1/2 cup fresh spring mix greens over the egg and cover with the muffin top. Serve immediately while warm.
