Cook Time: 25 hr

Difficulty: Easy

Serves: 2 People

Ingredients

Sausage & Egg McMuffin

  • Sausages - 6 (or 3 if you want single sausage and egg McMuffins)

  • Eggs - 2

  • English muffins - 2

  • Cheese Slices (mild cheddar) - 2

  • Butter - 1 tbps

  • Salt & Pepper

Hash Brown

  • Potatoes - 2 large

  • Eggs - 1

  • Salt & Pepper

Specialist Equipment

  • Egg ring (can be made out of kitchen foil if needed)

Method

Step One - Potatoes

Peel and grate the potatoes. Place the grated potatoes in the centre of a clean tea towel, gather up the corners into a bundle and twist it tight over the sink to wring out as much water from the potatoes as possible.

Return the grated potato to a bowl and mix through an egg and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

Leave in the bowl for later.

 

Step Two - Sausage Patties

Slice down the middle of the sausages and remove the meat from the skins. Take the meat of one and a half sausages, roll into a ball, and flatten into a meat patty (make sure they’re slightly wider than the muffin as they’ll shrink when they cook).

Keep doing this to make the other patties.

 

STEP Three - Hash Browns

Preheat the oven to 180°C fan (355°F) and preheat a foil-lined tray in the oven.

Place a little oil and butter in a frying pan over a medium heat.

Divide the potato mixture into 2 and on a chopping board, shape into hash brown shapes.

Gently transfer to the frying pan, and brown for 2-3 minutes on either side.

Gently transfer the hash browns to the tray and return to the oven to bake for 25 minutes.

Continue to the next step, as you’ll only have around 5 minutes before the sausage patties also need to go into the oven.

 

STEP Four - Sausage Burgers

Whilst the hash browns are baking, add the sausage patties to the frying pan on a medium heat. Brown for 2-3 minutes on each side.

Add to the tray with the hash browns and return to the oven for around 20 minutes.

 

STEP Five - Poached Eggs

With about 10 minutes to go until the sausages / hash browns are done it’s time to do the eggs.

If you don’t have egg rings, make them by folding a few layers of foil around the bottom of a can of food.

Lightly oil the foil rings and place them in a frying pan. Pour a little water in the bottom of the pan (just enough to cover the base) and bring to the boil.

Once boiling, pour the eggs into the rings, cover the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Serve with the hash brown on the side.

And that’s it, hope you enjoy!
