You don’t need a drive-thru to get that warm, savory breakfast sandwich fix — this Homemade Sausage Egg McMuffin is just as satisfying, and so much cleaner.

Made with a simple pan-fried turkey sausage patty, a perfectly round fried egg, and melty cheddar on a whole grain English muffin, this sandwich gives you the fast food flavor you love — without the grease or mystery ingredients. It's hearty, high-protein, and totally doable on a busy morning.

This one is everything Healthy Fast Food at Home is about: simple, real, and seriously good.

Ingredients:

• 2 whole grain or gluten-free English muffins

• 2 eggs

• 2 turkey sausage patties (store-bought or homemade — see Sarah’s tip)

• 2 slices cheddar or dairy-free cheese

• Olive oil spray or 1 tsp olive oil

• Salt & black pepper to taste

• Optional: hot sauce, spinach, or avocado slices

Instructions:

1. Cook the sausage
   In a skillet over medium heat, cook turkey sausage patties for 3–4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through. Set aside.

2. Fry the eggs
   Spray a round egg ring or mason jar lid with oil and place in the skillet. Crack an egg into each ring and cook for 2–3 minutes, then flip and cook 1–2 more minutes until set. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Toast the muffins
   While eggs cook, toast English muffins until golden.

4. Assemble your McMuffin
   Layer muffin base, sausage patty, fried egg, slice of cheese, and any optional toppings. Add the top half of the muffin and enjoy warm!

Sarah’s Tips:

• Make your own patties: Mix ground turkey with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a pinch of sage. Shape into thin patties and cook as above.

• Meal prep it: Wrap cooked sandwiches in foil and refrigerate or freeze. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet.

• Dairy-free option: Use plant-based cheddar or skip the cheese — it’s still delicious!

• Add greens: A handful of spinach or arugula adds a fresh bite.

Flavorful Conclusion:

This Homemade Sausage Egg McMuffin is warm, cheesy, and totally crave-worthy — everything you want in a breakfast sandwich, made healthier and faster at home. You’ll never miss the drive-thru.
