The Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich

Ingredients

1. 1

   Defrost the hash browns, mash them together with your hands and form into 4 patties. Set aside.

2. 2

   Squeeze the sausage meat out of its skins and shape into 4 patties. Warm a glug of oil in a frying pan and fry the sausage patties low and slow.

3. 3

   Push the patties to the edge of the pan and add the bacon, flipping it once it is browning and crisp on the first side.

4. 4

   Make room for the hash browns and fry them, flipping once golden. Lay two slices of cheese on each sausage patty, top with two rashers of bacon and let it all melt together until the cheese oozes.

5. 5

   Meanwhile halve the brioche buns and toast them cut side down until lightly charred. Once everything is ready, lift it all out of the pan.

6. 6

   For the eggs, heat a generous glug of oil in a clean pan until very hot, crack in the eggs and cook low and slow, spooning the hot oil over to baste. Season with pepper and keep basting until set to your liking. Set aside.

7. 7

   Whisk the mayo, ketchup and hot sauce together in a bowl. Spread the sauce over the buns and build each sandwich: bun, hash brown, sausage patty with its bacon and cheese, then the egg, and the top bun. Repeat for the rest and dig in.
