Ingredients You’ll Need

• 4 breakfast sausage patties
• 4 eggs
• 4 slices of cheddar cheese
• 4 English muffins, split and toasted
• Grape jelly
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make It

1. Cook the Sausage Patties
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage patties according to the package instructions, about 4-5 minutes per side until they’re browned and cooked through.

2. Cook the Eggs

• In the same skillet, crack the eggs and cook them however you like—fried for a runny yolk or scrambled if you want neat, tidy bites.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Top each egg with a slice of cheddar cheese and let it melt slightly.

3. Toast the Muffins
While the eggs cook, split the English muffins and toast them until golden brown.

4. Assemble the Sandwiches

• Spread a generous amount of grape jelly on the bottom half of each toasted muffin.
• Add a sausage patty on top of the jelly.
• Place the cheesy egg on top of the sausage.
• Cap it off with the top half of the muffin, and voilà!

5. Serve Warm
Serve your sandwich warm with extra grape jelly on the side for dipping. It’s sweet, savory, and oh-so-satisfying!

Pro Tips

• Cheese Swaps: Try pepper jack for a spicy kick, Swiss for a mellow flavor, or even American cheese for ultimate melty goodness.
• Egg Styles: Love a runny yolk? Keep the eggs fried and sunny-side up. Prefer them fully cooked? Go for scrambled.
• Grape Jelly Alternatives: Not a grape fan? Strawberry jam, apple butter, or a drizzle of maple syrup would work just as well.
• Make-Ahead Option: Cook the sausage patties and eggs in advance, then quickly reheat and assemble when ready to eat.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair this sandwich with a cup of hot coffee or fresh orange juice for the ultimate morning combo.
• Add crispy hash browns or fresh fruit on the side to round out the meal.
• Double the batch for a crowd—these sandwiches are perfect for weekend brunches or family breakfasts.
