Ingredients

9 total
  • 0.5 red onion, finely sliced
  • 0.5 lemon, juiced
  • 400g sausage meat
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus a drizzle
  • 4 large eggs
  • 50g parmesan, grated
  • 4 english muffins, toasted
  • 50g rocket
  • 2 vine tomatoes, thickly sliced

Method

6 steps
  1. Step 1

    Put the onion and lemon juice in a bowl with a big pinch of salt, scrunch with your hands to get the pickling underway, then set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Divide the sausage meat into 4 and shape into large patties.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a drizzle of oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the patties for 2-3 mins on each side, pressing down a little, until cooked through.

  4. Step 4

    Meanwhile, beat the eggs with the parmesan and some black pepper.

  5. Step 5

    Heat the 1 tbsp oil in a non-stick frying pan. Tip in the egg and scramble it over a low heat, moving it gently with a spatula to create soft, shiny ribboned eggs.

  6. Step 6

    To assemble the muffins, pop a sausage patty on the bottom halves, layer up the scrambled eggs, rocket, tomatoes and pickled onions, then top with the lids; serve immediately.
