How to Make Egg and Sausage Breakfast Sandwiches

breakfast sausage

🥗Healthier: turkey sausage

💰Cheaper: pork sausage

Turkey sausage is lower in fat and calories.

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: American cheese

Reduced-fat cheese cuts calories while still melting well.

English muffins

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: bagels

Whole grain bread adds fiber and is often cheaper.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier for cooking and adds flavor.

Spray a medium non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.

Mix the pound of pork sausage with 3/4 teaspoons of salt, 3/4 teaspoons of pepper, 1/2 teaspoon each of crushed rosemary, dried thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, and sugar.

Form the mixture into four sausage patties, using a cookie cutter for shape if desired.

Place the sausage patties in the preheated skillet and cook for five minutes per side.

Once the sausage is done cooking, place them on a plate and wipe out any grease with a paper towel.

Reduce heat to medium and spray the pan with additional cooking spray, as well as the cookie cutters for the eggs.

Crack the eggs into the cookie cutter rounds and break them with a fork.

Add 2 tablespoons of water to the pan for each batch of eggs.

Cover the pan and cook the eggs until over hard, about three minutes.

Split the English muffins with a fork and toast them in a toaster or broil them in the oven.

Spread 1/2 tablespoon of butter on the bottom half of each muffin, place a slice of American cheese, a sausage patty, an egg, and top with the other half of the muffin.

Serve the sandwiches warm.
