Directions

Using your hands, portion the sausage into 4 flattened patties. Each patty should be slightly larger than the size of your English muffins.
Split open English muffins and butter the halves.
Heat a large pan over medium-high heat.
Place the pork patties on the heated pan. Cook without flipping for 4 minutes, then flip and cook an additional 4–6 minutes until brown.
While the sausage cooks on its second side, toast the English muffins sliced side down on the pan.
Remove patties when cooked through and remove the English muffins when golden brown.
Lightly grease the pan with oil. Crack 4 eggs into the pan, leaving space between each. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook the eggs for 1–2 minutes until the outside whites start to set, then flip. Finish cooking eggs until the whites and yolk are firm, about 1–3 minutes.
Turn off the heat and top each egg with cheddar cheese slices. Allow to melt slightly.
To serve, place the bottom halves of the English muffins on a plate. Add sausage and egg, then top with the other muffin halves.
