Hot Sausage Breakfast Sandwiches

How about a couple of sandwiches that are not PoBoy'? Let's start with something to start your day.

6 large eggs

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

New Orleans-Style Hot Sausage

6 slices Cheddar cheese

1/2 cup ketchup

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 teaspoon hot sauce

3/4 teaspoon garlic powder

6 English muffins, halved and toasted

Preheat oven to 350℉. Spray a 6 cup jumbo muffin pan with cooking spray.

Crack 1 egg into each prepared muffin cup. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Bake until whites are set and yolks are cooked to preferred doneness, 10 to 12 minutes. Run a knife around edges to loosen. Gently transfer to a plate. Leave oven on.

Divide New Orleans-Style Hot Sausage into 6 portions, and shape into 1/2-inch thick patties.

Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties, and cook, pressing with a spatula to flatten and turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 6 minutes. Drain fat.

Top each patty with 1 egg and 1 slice of cheese.

Bake until cheese is melted, about 3 minutes.

In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, mayonnaise, hot sauce, and garlic powder. Spread 1 tablespoon ketchup mixture on each English muffin half. Top each bottom half with a patty. Top with remaining muffin halves. Serve immediately.
