How to Make Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast
Step 1: Cook the Sausage
- In a skillet, cook the sausage patties over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until fully cooked through and browned.
- Once done, set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 2: Toast the Bread

- Set aside.
Step 3: Scramble the Eggs
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low-medium and add a little butter (if needed).
- Crack the eggs into the skillet and gently scramble them, cooking for about 3-4 minutes or until they reach your desired consistency.
- Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4: Assemble the Breakfast
- Place a sausage patty on each muffin half (or your chosen bread).
- Top with scrambled eggs and cheese slices.
- Place the top half of the muffin on and press gently.
Step 5: Serve
