Smashed Sausage Egg & Cheese Recipe

Make the Patties

In a bowl, combine the pork sausage, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape into patties.

Flatten the Patties

Place each patty between two sheets of parchment paper and flatten them with a heavy skillet or a meat mallet until they are about 1/4 inch thick.

Cook the Sausage

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the flattened sausage patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.

Fry the Eggs

In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and fry them until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, about 3-4 minutes.

Add Cheese

Once the sausage patties are cooked, place a slice of American cheese on each patty. Cover the skillet for about a minute to melt the cheese.

Prepare Macha Honey

In a small bowl, mix together the honey and matcha powder until well combined.

Assemble the Smashed Sausage Egg & Cheese

On a plate, place one sausage patty with melted cheese, top it with a fried egg, and drizzle with macha honey. Place the second sausage patty on top.

Cook the Tater Tots

Prepare the frozen tater tots according to package instructions, usually baking them in the oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Mix the Dip

In a small bowl, mix together ketchup and mayonnaise to create a creamy dip.
