Ingredients:
- 1 lb bulk pork sausage
- 8 eggs
- 4 slices American cheese
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease 8 muffin tin cups or line with paper liners for easier cleanup. |
| 2 | Divide the bulk pork sausage into 8 equal portions. Press each portion into the prepared muffin tin cups, pressing the sausage up the sides and into the bottom to form a cup shape. |
| 3 | Bake the sausage cups in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the sausage is fully cooked and slightly browned. |
| 4 | Remove the muffin tin from the oven. Carefully crack an egg into each sausage cup. Return the tin to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set. |
| 5 | Remove the muffin tin again from the oven. Place half a slice of American cheese over each sausage and egg cup. Return to the oven for 1 more minute, or until the cheese is melted. |
| 6 | Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before carefully removing each McMuffin from the tin. Serve warm and enjoy! |
