The method

  1. reheat oven to 130C/275F.

  2. Place muffins on a baking tray, cut side up, and top with cheese. 

For the sausage patties

  1. Mix Sausage Patty ingredients in a bowl - use your hands to mix it.

  2. Shape into 4 patties. Make them slightly larger than the muffins because they will shrink when cooking.

  3. Heat oil in a large non stick pan over high heat. Add patties (in batches if needed). Cook the first side for 2 - 3 minutes or until browned. Flip then cook the other side until browned. (Optional: After flipping, top with cheese, cover with lid to melt).

For the eggs

  1. Meanwhile, heat another pan over medium high heat with 1 tbsp oil. Spray egg rings with oil and place in the skillet. 

  2. Crack the eggs into the rings. Add around 2 tbsp water into the skillet then cover with a lid. Cook for 1 - 2 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.

Finally assemble

  1. Remove warm muffins from the oven. Top with sausage, then egg, the lid of muffin.

  2. Serve and enjoy!
