Hello, hello! It’s almost the weekend, so I thought I would share one of our family’s favorite weekend breakfast foods. As much as we love to sit down to a hearty breakfast of pancakes, bacon and other goodies, the kids’ busy schedules don’t always give us time to do this. I like to make sure everyone is well fed, so if we’ve got a busy day ahead of us, we serve these Sausage and Egg Breakfast Sandwiches. Since these are pretty filling, I know I won’t have to worry about hungry tummies for a few hours.
Weekday mornings are rushed at our house, so breakfast is always simple. And honestly, I’m not really a breakfast person. In fact, I prefer to nibble fruit, cheese or whatever fairly healthy snacks I can find. But we’re on a different schedule on weekends, and having a hearty breakfast keeps me going throughout most of the day. And since the teens love sleeping in whenever possible, these breakfast sandwiches are usually more of a brunch.
This is almost exactly like a Sausage McMuffin, except it’s healthier and cheaper too! The kids and I hate runny yolks. Really. So we fry the eggs until the yolks are firm. I guess the term is technically over-hard, but it’s definitely no longer runny! We make enough for seven people, but you can easily adjust the amounts to fit your family.
Ingredients
- 7 English muffins, toasted
- 7 all-natural sausage patties
- 7 Eggs
- 7 Cheese slices ( I used both cheddar and provolone )

Thanks for letting me know that freezing them works! I'll have to try your method next time. 🙂

I make these all the time for my kids. They love them & it's easy to throw a handful in the freezer to use on busy mornings. The only thing I do different is I scramble the eggs & then bake them in a muffin tin. 🙂

That's my husband — he LOVES breakfast!
Dee M says
Hmm — No, I haven't, and I'm not sure how they would taste. The sausage would probably be fine, but I don't know about the egg.

I am a breakfast person / need I say more 🙂 Well done.

Mmmm these look great. I love breakfast sandwiches. Have you tried freezing them ahead of time? I wonder how they would turn out.
Dee M says
Thanks, Miss Kitty. This might be a nice change for your folks. 🙂
Miss Kitty says
These sound wonderful! I am on a diet but I have to provide breakfast for my parents and they are not…these sound like a great break from scrambled eggs and bacon for them. Thanks for sharing this "recipe" with us.
Dee M says
Exactly! We take turns, and my husband makes these a lot, since I'm usually the pancake cheff. 🙂

Love these! My hubby is the weekend breakfast chef and usually makes us bacon & eggs, or pancakes, or muffins . . . gotta love a man that can cook!
