How to make McDonald’s sausage and egg McMuffin recipe at home

While the fast-food restaurant has plenty of appealing options (hotcakes anyone?) it’s McDonald’s sausage and egg McMuffin that has cult status.

But buying breakfast every morning can get expensive. You’d spend $1710 a year munching on a McMuffin seven days a week – and that’s before you’ve included a coffee.

However, if you don’t have a spare $2000 to blow on buying brekkie every day, you can make the tasty meal at home yourself – and it’s easier than you may think.

McDonald’s released its official sausage and egg McMuffin recipe during 2020s lockdown, detailing everything you need to recreate the breakfast sanger at home.

How to make a sausage and egg McMuffin

English muffin: Toast this until golden brown.

75g sausage meat: Season with a pinch of salt and pepper then shape into balls. Flatten into patty shapes and cook under a preheated grill for six to seven minutes on each side (or as per instructions on packaging).

Eggs: Brush the inside of a metal ring with a little oil and place in a small frying pan. Pour in just enough water to cover the base then bring to the boil. Crack the eggs into the rings, cover the pan and cook for two to three minutes.

American cheese slice: Assemble your McMuffin by layering the patty and egg on top of a slice of cheese.

Potato: To make a hash brown, grate the potato into a bowl. Mix in an egg then season with salt and pepper. Heat some oil in a pan then add a spoonful of the mix. Flatten and cook until golden brown on both sides.
