Ingredients

• 350 g Minced pork
• ½ tsp Salt
• ½ tsp dried sage
• ¼ tsp Black pepper
• 1 pinch Chilli flakes
• 1 tsp Maple syrup
• 4 English muffins, split
• 1 tbsp Butter, plus extra for the muffins
• 4 Eggs
• 4 slices American cheese or cheddar slices

Method

1. Mix the pork with the salt, sage, pepper, chilli flakes and maple syrup. Shape into 4 thin patties slightly wider than the muffins (they shrink as they cook).
2. Cook the patties in a large frying pan over medium heat for 3–4 min per side, until browned and cooked through to 71°C (160°F). Keep warm.
3. Meanwhile, toast the muffins and spread them with a little butter.
4. Melt the butter in the pan, crack in the eggs and break the yolks with a fork. Cook for 2–3 min, then flip, lay a slice of cheese on each and cover the pan for 30 seconds to melt it.
5. Stack a patty and a cheesy egg in each muffin and serve hot.

Tips

• Egg rings or wide mason-jar lids give perfectly round, muffin-sized eggs.
• Wrap cooled sandwiches in foil and freeze; reheat in a 180°C (160°C fan, 350°F) oven for about 20 min, until piping hot in the middle.
