1
Heat the skillet on a medium burner.
-
2
Tear a chunk of sausage and form the sausage into a patty.
-
3
Wash your hands.
-
4
Check the skillet.
-
5
Is it hot enough to make a drop of water sizzle?
-
6
Time to cook the sausage patty, about 5 minutes on each side or until it's deep brown and has a crispy crust.
-
7
Meanwhile, beat the egg, pepper, and hot sauce together in a bowl with the fork until uniformly blended.
-
8
When the sausage is done, drain it between layers of paper towels (mash it to get as much grease out as possible).
-
9
Pour the grease out of the skillet, too.
-
10
(Not in the sink!
-
11
Ask a parent how to dispose of grease.)
-
12
Then pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it cook.
-
13
Scramble the egg with the spatula as it cooks.
-
14
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until set.
-
15
Turn off the stove.
-
16
While the egg cooks, put the cheese on the top half of the English muffin.
-
17
Broil both halves of the muffin 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese melts and the bottom half is toasted.
-
18
Turn off the oven and use the oven mitts to remove the baking sheet.
-
19
When everything's ready, construct your sandwich: bottom muffin, sausage patty, egg, tomato slice, and cheesy top muffin half.
