Ingredients

1 good herby pork sausage

1 tablespoon fresh breadcrumbs

preserving jar screw band, or egg poaching ring

non-stick cooking spray

1 egg

1/4 cup water

1 English muffin

a little butter

1 slice of cheese – optional

Method

1.Split the sausage with a serrated knife and squeeze out the filling into a bowl or processor. Mix with the fresh breadcrumbs, then use wet hands to form into a patty.

2.In a frying pan, cook the sausage patty till golden on both sides. Set aside and keep warm.

3.Lightly oil a frying pan and heat it. Spray an egg ring or preserving jar band thoroughly with non-stick spray. Place in the greased pan – if using a screw band, place it with the top facing up.

4.Break the egg into the ring and break the yolk. When the white has set around the edge, pour the water around the outsides of the egg ring. Cover the pan with a lid and cook gently for 3 minutes or until the egg is cooked.

5.While the egg is cooking, toast the muffin in the toaster. Butter the toasted muffin lightly and if using cheese, place a slice on the bottom half of the muffin, then add the sausage patty and top with the cooked egg and muffin top.
