Breakfast Sausage Muffin


This morning I made my boys this breakfast ala Sausage McMuffin. Easy to make, just takes a little time so maybe try this on a weekend morning.



I've read that only 11 servings of processed meat should be eaten in a month's time. This includes hotdogs, bacon, luncheon meat, ham,and tapa, tocino, longganisa. This is due to the nitrates and preservatives added. These ingredients have been linked to cancer, heart disease and diabetes. So I try to make my own tapa, tocino, and this sausage. The sausage recipe can also be served with garlic rice and eggs for breakfast.




Main ingredients are English muffins, ground pork for the sausage, square cheese, and eggs. I buy English muffins when I find some and just freeze it. I take it out of the freezer the night before and keep it in the refrigerator. The sausages can also be made ahead of time and frozen.
And I usually have Kraft cheddar square cheese but I had Emmental cheese today. Yum!



Let's start with the sausage. In a bowl, mix together 1/2 kilo lean ground pork, a chopped onion, minced garlic, 1 egg, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp sugar, 1 tsp vinegar, 1/2 tsp freshly cracked pepper, and 1 tsp flour.


Optional, you can add 1 tsp chili flakes. If you have one of those packets from a pizza delivery, that's perfect.





At this point, you can do a taste test. Correct seasoning, if necessary. Mine's perfect.




Divide mixture into six patties.


Make scrambled eggs. I used 5 eggs, beaten with a little salt and about a tablespoon of fresh milk. This will make your eggs more fluffy. Cook with 1 teaspoon of butter and 1 teaspoon of oil.
Set aside.




Using a nonstick pan place 3 patties without oil. Cook about 5 minutes on each side.



I usually turn off the vent fan so the scent of the patties float up to the boys' rooms. Anytime now at least one of them comes down to see what that delicious aroma is. I tell them, "Breakfast in 5 minutes, do your chores first" I tell you, it's the fastest way to get them to make their beds. Wink Wink


Anyway, while the patties are cooking, cut the english muffins in half and toast.



Place a piece of square cheese on each patty. And put on lower half of muffin.
Top with scrambled eggs and cover with the other half of the muffin.



Serve with ketchup.



Better yet, if you happen to have a Mcdonald's ketchup sachet...



Guys, breakfast is ready!
