Ingredients for Spicy egg sandwich with sausage and pickled peppers

  • 225 g sweet or spicy Italian sausage, casings removed

  • 15 g unsalted butter

  • 2 large eggs

  • pinch kosher salt

  • pinch crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

  • 2 English muffins, toasted

  • harissa paste (for muffins)

How to make Spicy egg sandwich with sausage and pickled peppers

  1. Using damp hands, form the sausage into two patties, each approximately 1 cm thick.

  2. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat until hot. Cook the patties for about 2 minutes, or until golden brown on the bottom.

  3. Turn the patties and continue to cook for another 2–3 minutes, until the other side is browned and cooked through. Transfer the patties to a plate and wipe out the frying pan.

  4. Add butter to the same frying pan over medium heat and allow it to melt.

  5. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook undisturbed for 4–5 minutes, until the whites are set, the edges are golden, and the yolks remain runny. Season with salt and red pepper flakes, if using. Remove the pan from the heat.

  6. Spread harissa on the cut sides of two muffin halves. Top with feta, the cooked patties, the fried eggs, sliced peppers, and fresh coriander.

  7. Spread mayonnaise on the remaining muffin halves, then close the sandwiches.
