Cook Time:15 min

Prep Time:30 min

Total Time:45 min

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

1 Egg, Grade A Large

1 English muffin, toasted

1 slice American cheese

Butter

1 lb ground pork

2 teaspoons dried sage

1 teaspoon dried marjoram

1 teaspoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic

? teaspoon dried thyme

pinch cayenne

2 tablespoons cold water

Preparation:

In a bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well.

For the sausage mixture into small balls. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat and lightly coat the pan with oil. Place one of the balls of the sausage mixture in the pan and press with a spatula to flatten. Cook until well browned on one side, flip and brown on the second side until cooked through.

Place a nonstick pan over medium heat. Carefully set a ring mold in the center of the pan and spray the pan and ring mold with oil. Crack an egg into the ring mold. With the tip of a knife, pierce the egg yolk. If the egg white begins to bubble in any spot, pierce the bubble with the tip of the knife as well.

Pour approximately ¼ cup water into the pan and quickly cover with a lid. Let the egg cook, covered for 2 minutes and check for doneness. If the egg is cooked through remove from the pan with a spatula and remove the ring mold.

Slice and toast the English muffin and lightly spread with the butter.

Top the toasted muffin bottom with a slice of American cheese, then a sausage patty and the egg patty before adding the toasted muffin top. If you wish, you can also melt the cheese on the sausage patty in the pan.
