Sausage Patties

Egg & Cheese

Macha Honey

Tater Tots

Method

Sausage Patties

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sausage

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the pork sausage patties with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    Place the sausage patties in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.

  3. 3

    Flatten the Patties

    Using a spatula, press down on the cooked patties to flatten them slightly. This creates a 'smashed' effect.

Egg & Cheese

  1. 4

    Cook the Eggs

    In the same skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook sunny-side up for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

  2. 5

    Add Cheese

    Place a slice of American cheese on top of each egg during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Macha Honey

  1. 6

    Prepare the Macha Honey

    In a small bowl, mix together the macha powder and honey until well combined. Set aside.

Tater Tots

  1. 7

    Cook the Tater Tots

    Prepare the frozen tater tots according to package instructions, usually baking or frying until golden and crispy, about 20-25 minutes.

  2. 8

    Season Tater Tots

    Once cooked, sprinkle with salt to taste and serve with ketchup on the side for dipping.
