Cook mode

1. Set a skillet over medium-high heat. Lay 4 sausage patties in the dry pan and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the undersides brown, then flip and cook another 3 minutes until cooked through. Transfer to a plate.7 min
2. Lower heat to medium. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the pan and crack 4 eggs into it, keeping the yolks whole if you want, or stirring to scramble. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring or letting them set as you prefer, until they reach your doneness.4 min
3. Toast 2 slices of bread while the eggs cook. Plate the sausage, eggs, and toast.3 min

Note Swap the eggs for a grain or leftover rice if you need more bulk. Leftovers keep two days covered in the fridge. Serve with hot sauce, hot coffee, or both.
