What is a double sausage and egg McMuffin?
A double sausage and egg McMuffin is a breakfast sandwich sold at McDonald’s. It contains two sausage patties, one slice of cheese on an English muffin with the addition of a fried egg patty on top of the meat. The bread has been toasted before it is filled with all three ingredients. McDonald’s restaurants also sell it as a combo meal with a hash brown and a drink. With 2890KJ of fuel but with 691kcal of calories, 47.0g of fat, 22g saturated fat, 4g of sugar and 3g of salt per serving it isn’t exactly a healthy start to your day.
How my Double Sausage and Egg Muffin is stacked up
Not one sausage patty but two patties (of course!), egg, two slices of cheese, two slices of bacon and a potato rosti all stacked up between in a toasted muffin. A bit big in size but obviously you can make it smaller!
Serves: 2 People
Allergens: WHEAT, MILK
Time: 20 Minutes
BBQ Used: Monolith ICON with the Fire Plate
Ingredients
- 3 Medium sized Maris Piper Potatoes – grated
- 500g Sausages – remove from skins
- 4 Slices of Streaky Bacon
- 2 Eggs
Wrapping Liquid:
- 2 Toasting Muffins
- 4 Slices of Processed Cheese
- Salt
- Vegetable Oil
Method
- Divide the Sausage meat in 4 balls and place on a tray in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Grate the Potatoes into a bowl,
- Place grated Potato in a tea towel and squeeze the excess water out and put the Potato back in a clean bowl.
- Season the Potato with 1/2 TSP of Salt and mix well.
- Get Plancha plate up to 250C when reading the metal surface via an infra-red thermometer.
Note: if you haven’t got an infra-red thermometer, sprinkle some water and it should immediately dance across the surface as it evaporates. - Using 2 rings on the Plancha, first oil the inside and divide the grated Potato between the 2 pressing it down as you put it in.
- Flip the Potato Rosties after 2 minutes and place under a Cloche.
Note: a metal bowl works just as well but be carefully if it hasn’t got a handle. - Place the Streaky Bacon on the plancha and flip after a couple of minutes.
Remember to check on the Rosti as you cook, flipping them over occasionally. - Move the Bacon to the side and drop the Sausage balls on to the plancha. Press the balls down flat with a burger press or a strong spatula. Turn the patties over after 5 minutes.
- Put egg rings on the plancha and squeeze some oil into the them. Add an egg to each ring and cover with a Cloche.
- Brush the cut muffin with melted butter and place on the Plancha to toast.
- Move the eggs to on top of a Rosti and recover.
- Add a cheese slice to each patty.
- Stack 2 Sausage patties on top of each other and add a Rosti and egg. Continue to cook until egg is done to your liking.
- The stack on a toasted muffin and add your favourite condiment
My Opinion on the Cook
Am rather partial to a McDonald’s Double Sausage and Egg McMuffin, I am not going to lie. My version is a bit more pimped up with the extra Streaky Bacon and Potato Rosti. I have to say it’s definitely better tasting but probably not very healthy which is why I keep it for the occasional treat.
