Forming and Baking [02:30]

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Use a measuring scoop to portion about 6 tbsp of the mixture per patty.
3. Roll each scoop into a ball, then press into a patty, making them slightly larger than the English muffins as they will shrink while baking.
4. Bake at 400°F for 18–22 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Preparing the Sandwiches [04:01]

1. Toast English muffins on a griddle with butter.
2. Fry the eggs in a pan with butter until over-medium. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Mash the avocado in a bowl with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a touch of lemon juice to prevent browning.
4. Assemble: Spread mayo on the English muffin, add mashed avocado, a sausage patty, a fried egg, a slice of cheese, and cover with the other half of the muffin.
