Ingredients
- 2 low-carb English muffins
- 2 pieces breakfast sausage patties
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon dried parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven or toaster oven to 350°F (175°C) to gently warm the low-carb English muffins.
Step 2
In a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage patties until they are cooked through and browned, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with the salt, black pepper, and dried parsley until well combined.
Step 4
Wipe the skillet clean and return to medium-low heat. Add butter to the skillet. Once melted and bubbling, pour in the egg mixture.
Step 5
Let the eggs sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds then gently stir with a spatula while pulling the edges to the center, allowing uncooked egg to flow to the edges. Continue cooking until the eggs are softly set, around 3 minutes.
Step 6
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top of the eggs, then fold the eggs in half over the cheese, allowing it to melt. Turn off the heat.
Step 7
Slice the low-carb English muffins in half, and place them in the preheated oven or toaster oven for about 3 minutes until toasted.
Step 8
To assemble the sandwiches, place a cooked sausage patty on the bottom half of each toasted muffin, followed by half of the cheesy scrambled eggs over the sausage.
Step 9
Top each sandwich with the remaining half of the muffin. Serve immediately for a hot and wholesome breakfast.
