This makes 2 sausage egg sandwiches, like your favorite breakfast place. But better.
Partly inspired by Meal in a Mug
- Slice 2 English muffins cross-wise. Set 3 minutes air fryer middle rack, put in before heated fully and leave in until ready to use to keep warm
- Get microwave-safe mug with some oil (avocado preferred) at the bottom and the bottom sides. Crack 2 eggs into it. Pierce egg yolks with fork to prevent explosion. Lightly salt. Cover with folded paper towel
- Wrap 4 frozen pork sausages in 3 sheets of paper towels
- Microwave covered mug and sausages for 99s @ 50% power
- While microwaving, get out sharp white cheddar cheese and slice off 6 slices
- Jiggle eggs and sausages and microwave mug and sausages again at 99s @ 50% power
- Carefully remove mug from microwave, keep paper towel on it to steam
- Microwave sausages a final 33s @ 50% power
Now everything is cooked.
Assemble sandwiches. The order is helpful to keep the sandwich from sliding around and to melt the cheese well.
- Put muffin bottom down
- Optional: add roasted red pepper hummus or avocado / guacamole to bottom
- Pat sausages dry and slice lengthwise, putting flat side down
- Place layer of cheese
- Remove eggs from mug. May have to slide butter knife around edge. If difficult, use more oil the next time.
- Slice egg in half, cross wise. It will be hot. It will slide less if you place on the paper towel.
- Place middle portion of egg (steamiest) on top of cheese
- Place muffin top
- Press gently on both sandwiches to meld the ingredients, melt cheese, steam muffin, and make it easier to eat
Enjoy! Once you've practiced, takes about ten minutes.
Extra notes:
- 50% power is important to prevent eggs from exploding
- Can use toaster for muffins instead, may start later
