Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwiches

This is a simple recipe for a hearty make-ahead breakfast for busy mornings. We use either pork sausage patties or bacon but you could really use any meat you want. You may also want to scramble your eggs or add chopped up veggies like peppers or spinach. I like to make a batch of 10 and then freeze a half dozen for later. We just reheat them in the oven right in the aluminum foil for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees while we get ready but you could definitely microwave them for 2 minutes or so if you like. You may not want to toast the muffins if you plan on microwaving because it might make the muffin too chewy or hard. Just don't put the aluminum foil in the microwave! :)

Ingredients:
10 large eggs
10 slices of sharp cheddar cheese (I cut mine into circles but you don't have to do that)
10 precooked sausage patties, ham or bacon (I use Wellshire Maple Pork Patties from Whole Foods)
10 English muffins (I used the Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Wheat Muffins from Whole Foods)
Salt & Pepper
Butter
Aluminum Foil
Small ramekins

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease ramekins with butter. Crack one egg into each ramekin. Drag a knife through the egg to break the yolk. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake until eggs are set, about 15 minutes. You may need to do this in batches depending on how many ramekins you have. While the eggs are baking, toast each English muffin and lightly butter each side.  Slide the eggs out of the ramekins and allow to cool briefly. Place a sausage patty, egg and then the cheese on the English muffin to make a sandwich. Either enjoy immediately or wrap in aluminum foil and freeze.
