McDonalds has done the responsible thing by closing their restaurants during these unprecedented and worrying times caused by the devastating SARS-CoV-2 virus. However, that doesn’t mean that my, although fortunately for my wallet only very occasional, craving for a Sausage and Egg McMuffin doesn’t rear its tempting head during this time. My cravings were added to with the emergence of McDonalds’ own recipe for the Sausage and Egg McMuffin surfacing online so I decided to give it a go one Sunday morning rather than a cooked breakfast. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Turns out it was very easy to make! In some ways, it was quicker to make it myself than spending time deciding whether or not to halt a Sunday morning lie-in, get dressed, decide whether to get in the car and drive to McDonalds only to end up with a disappointing McDonalds breakfast 9 times out of 10 as you open that grease soaked paper wrapping to find the squished muffin inside, vowing never to buy McDonalds breakfast again – a mantra that you’ve repeated quietly to yourself numerous times before… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sausage meat patty could have been a little neater and flatter, the poached egg could be less dome-shaped (that was the shape of our egg poacher!) but apart from that, it was a roaring success that my craving was very happy with! I used a very roughly measured 100g of sausage meat per muffin (by literally separating the 400g pack in half for my two muffins<\/em>), adding a sprinkle of salt and pepper then placed the patties under the grill for about 8 minutes each side. Poached two eggs, toasted the muffin halves before slathering in butter and placing a slice of cheese on. Assemble, then chomp! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t have sausage meat, just substitute it with sausages and remove the casing . There – you have sausage meat! The sausages are normally quite well seasoned anyway so you might find that you don’t even have to add any seasoning to your patties, for example if it’s a sausage brand that you like the taste of usually anyway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although it doesn’t come with the greasy yet tantalising hash brown that you get from a McDonald’s breakfast meal, I can probably bet that your homemade coffee will be a much welcomed companion to your homemade sausage and egg muffin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
