    Easy Sausage and Egg McMuffin Fakeaway Recipe

    This Sausage and Egg McMuffin recipe is one of several fakeaway McDonalds breakfast recipes I'm sharing today - you can find links to all of them in my roundup post: Easy Fakeaway McDonalds Breakfast Recipes.

    In this post you'll find the recipe for our easy McDonalds style Sausage and Egg Muffins. These are a big favourite in our household, so I'm really pleased I've been able to find a much cheaper way to enjoy them, by making them ourselves at home. Currently the restaurant price for a Sausage and Egg McMuffin is £2.79, but my homemade version costs just 86p per muffin!

    Quick and easy McDonalds Breakfast Fakeaway Recipe - Sausage and Egg Muffin

    I've broken down the cost of making an individual muffin using supermarket ingredients below. I've based costs on Tesco prices, purely because that's my nearest supermarket and the one I use most regularly, but you may well be able to make them even cheaper by shopping around in other supermarkets. Please note that prices are all current at time of publishing, but may change in the future.

    Here's how I arrived at my price per muffin:

    4 English Muffins 90p (22p each)

    15 Cheesy Slices 70p (5p each)

    12 Medium Free-Range Eggs £2 (17p each)

    6 Pork & Herb Breakfast Patties £2.50 (42p each)

    One sausage and egg muffin is made up of; muffin 22p + cheese 5p + egg 17p + sausage patty 42p = 86p each.

    We served our muffins with hash browns (restaurant price: £1.09 vs homemade price: 10p each) and orange juice (restaurant price: £1.49 vs homemade price: 25p).

    Fakeaway Sausage and Egg McMuffin

    Ingredients (makes 1):

    • 1 pork breakfast patty
    • melted butter for brushing
    • 1 egg
    • 1 English muffin
    • 1 cheese slice

    Method:

    Cook the sausage patty according to pack instructions. We used frozen patties which we fried in a little oil for 7-8 minutes, turning half way through.

    Once the sausage patty is cooked, remove from the pan and keep warm until ready to serve.

    Brush the inside of an egg ring and the frying pan with a little butter.

    Break egg into the ring, then cover the pan and fry for 2-3 minutes until cooked through. If you don't have an egg ring, just break the egg straight into the pan - it might not look as neat but it'll taste just as good!

    Whilst the egg is cooking, slice the muffin in half and pop each half into the toaster to lightly toast.

    Once toasted, remove the muffin, brush with a little melted butter and add a slice of cheese to the bottom half. Add the sausage patty and the fried egg, then finish with the top half of the muffin.

    For an extra authentic fakeaway experience, wrap your muffin in a square of baking paper and serve with hash browns and orange juice on the side.
