Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Burger press (optional)
  • Air fryer or frying pan
  • Toaster
  • Microwave (for reheating, if freezing)
  • Knife and cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • For the Sausage Patties Makes 4:
  • 500 g 5% fat pork mince
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp oregano
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • For the Muffins:
  • 4 English muffins
  • 4 lighter cheesy slices
  • 4 eggs
  • Ketchup to taste

Instructions
 

  • Step 1: Make the Sausage Patties. In a mixing bowl, combine the pork mince, salt, pepper, oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, and parsley. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape them into patties using your hands or a burger press.
  • Step 2: Cook the Patties. Place the patties in an air fryer and cook at 190°C (375°F) for 15 minutes, or until fully cooked. Alternatively, cook them in a frying pan over medium heat, flipping occasionally, until browned and cooked through.
  • Step 3: Toast the Muffins. While the patties are cooking, slice the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.
  • Step 4: Cook the Eggs. Fry or scramble the eggs in a non-stick pan until fully cooked.
  • Step 5: Assemble the Muffins. Layer each toasted muffin with a cheesy slice, a sausage patty, an egg, and a dollop of ketchup. Top with the other half of the muffin.
  • Step 6: Store and Reheat. Wrap the muffins in foil or plastic wrap once cooled. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to a month. To reheat, microwave for 1-2 minutes until warmed through.

Notes

  • Shape Patties Evenly: Ensure the patties are of equal size so they cook evenly.
  • Don’t Overcook the Eggs: Cook the eggs just until set for the best texture.
  • Cool Before Storing: Allow the muffins to cool completely before wrapping to prevent sogginess.
