Ingredients

1/2 lb. sweet or spicy Italian sausage, casings removed

1 Tbsp. unsalted butter

2 large eggs

Pinch of kosher salt

Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

2 English muffins, toasted

Harissa paste (for muffins)

3 oz. feta cheese, thinly sliced

1/3 cup sliced drained Peppadew peppers (about 3 oz.)

1/2 cup cilantro leaves with tender stems

Mayonnaise (for muffins)

Method

Using damp hands, form sausage into two 1/4"-thick patties.

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high until hot. Cook patties until golden brown on bottom side, about 2 minutes. Turn and continue to cook until other side is browned and cooked through, 2–3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out skillet.

Heat butter over medium in same skillet until melted. Cook eggs, undisturbed, until whites are set, edges are golden, and yolks are still runny, 4–5 minutes. Season with salt and red pepper flakes (if using). Remove pan from heat.

Spread harissa on 2 muffin halves. Top with feta, patties, eggs, peppers, and cilantro. Spread mayonnaise on remaining muffin halves, then close up sandwiches.
