MY 4 MINUTE AND 4 HOUR BREAKFAST SANDWICHES (Quick & Easy vs Homemade)

🔪MY GEAR:

RECIPES
---------------------
4 MINUTE QUICK & EASY:
•Squishy brioche bun (store bought is fine)
•American cheese slice
•Egg
•Thinly sliced ham

Toast cut side of bun, cook egg + add cheese and allow to melt. Add sliced ham to bun and top with cheesed egg. It's the best thing you can make in 4 minutes.

FROM SCRATCH BREAKFAST SANDWICH:

ENGLISH MUFFIN:
•140g or 1/2c warm water (86F/30C)
•2g or about 3/4tsp instant yeast
•10g or 3/4Tbsp olive oil
•90g or 3/4c sourdough starter or poolish (see below)
•250g or 1 1/2c AP Flour (11.7% protein)
•4g or 3/4tsp salt

Add ingredients to bowl and mix with a sturdy spoon to combine. Continue to mix with a wet hand by squeezing until homogenous and a dough has formed. Cover and allow to rise at room temp for 30min. Strengthen dough by folding as shown @5:31. Cover and allow to rise at room temp for another 30 minutes. Repeat strength-building fold. Cover and allow to rise for 60 minutes at room temp.

Turn out the dough onto a floured work surface. Divide into six 75g pieces.
Liberally dust a tray with cornmeal. Shape each piece of dough as shown @6:38. Place each shaped ball onto tray of cornmeal, making sure a good amount of cornmeal adheres to both top and bottom of each muffin ball. Cover with another tray or towel and allow to proof at room temp for 60-75min.

Add enough ghee or neutral oil to a pan over med-high to coat the bottom of the pan. I'm using about 1/4c or 60g for my 12" pan. When oil is preheated, add in English muffins. Cook on side one for 1.5-2min until golden. Fry on the second side for about 2 min. Transfer browned muffins to a sheet tray fitted with a wire rack then finish by baking in 350F/170C preheated oven for 12min.
------
SAUSAGE:
•450g or 1lb ground pork
•8g salt
•4g black pepper
•1g dried thyme
•5g minced garlic
•5g minced ginger
•2g fresh sage, chopped
•5g apple cider vinegar
•15-20g maple syrup

Combine all ingredients and mix well. I recommend gloving up and mixing by hand, squeezing the meat.

Divide meat mix into 115g/4oz patties and smash each between parchment into very thin, flat, rounds. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
------
MAKING THE SANDWICH:
Preheat nonstick pan over med-high. Add neutral oil and a pre-smashed sausage patty, pressing down to maximize browning/surface area. Cook on side one for about 90 sec or until nicely brown. Flip and continue cooking on the second side for about 30 sec, adding thick slice of aged cheddar while side 2 cooks.

To cook the egg, add oil to pan over low, and add egg white, allowing white to cook for 15-20 seconds before adding yolk to the middle of the white. Hit the egg with salt and pepp. Add a bit of water to the pan, cover, and allow to cook for about 60 seconds to steam and set up yolk a bit. Once the yolk is set to your desired level of runniness, it's done.

Cut english muffin in half and toast. To build, add cheesed sausage to english muffin, followed by egg, and finally a 50/50 mix of hot sauce and hot honey. Enjoy that thing.

------
TO MAKE POOLISH: combine 45g AP flour + 45g warm water (86F/30C) + small pinch of yeast. Mix, cover, and allow to sit at room temp over night or for about 12 hours.

This is my favourite style cook video, 90% of the time I only care about quick good meals, but I like knowing how to go all the way on special days

[susangarland]

All my life I've lived in fear of breaking the yolk while frying an egg, and here you go and do it on purpose. That was a bit liberating. Also, love the quick vs slow. It's a great idea.

[MrTorres]

Bro I feel like your videos cover all the bases on what a good YouTube culinary channel should bring. Can’t stop watching them. Thanks for the content. You’re honest, funny, and super knowledgeable and talented. Thanks for not being food-snobby and annoying like some of the other big YouTubers out there!

[matthafer]

The four-minute version with the brioche bun and the ham is so good and repeatable ...VERY easy-to-make. I love it and yes it really only takes 4 minutes that's weekdaying

[OriginalSketch]

"NO ONE is above this" is the perfect way to describe the lazy, American cheese-blanketed breakfast sandwich.

[aarondailey]

Brian is the dopest! Easily my favorite dude to watch.

[andrewkupres]

I made this but mashed the two ideas. I used a soft white bun (toasted), premade turkey sausage which I pre smashed like you did, then did the egg and cheese. IT WAS AMAZING! I cooked the egg how you showed and it made such a huge difference. The wife said it's the best breakfast sandwich she's ever had!!!

[livedinpoetry]

Do this on a griddle if you have a big family or are serving lots of people at once. Toasty buns, eggs, cheese, sausage all at once! 🤗 you can never go wrong with a good breakfast sandwich! Great video 👍🏻

[adriennepender]

Wow, I’ve been separating my whites and yolks for fried eggs for a while now, thought it was just me! But if you like a hard cooked white with caramelized edges AND a runny yolk, that’s the best way to do it. Great videos, Brian!

[sheilam]

Still lov'n the Happy Dance. What a way to get up to watch to the end. 😁

[r.schmalzried]

Keep showing that stretch and fold Bri, it’s a great tool that you added to my baking.

[patricks]

Hi Bri... I like this new video format. You give us something to eat quickly but also options to 'chef it up' and aspire to. Also, we can upgrade a bit at time like adding that homemade sausage patty to the first version of the sandwich.

[lemonysnick]

Love this idea of combining of the quick version and long version. Great video, thanks!

[ObsessiveAboutCats]

10:54 and now I have a new favorite way to cook eggs. Awesome. Thanks!

[scottsodyssey]

Glugs and drizzles are my favorite measuring units. 😉

[TheAcademiaAesthetic]

Can I just appreciate how you actually respond to comments on your video ✨🌻and react😁I love your channel, new subscriber ❤️💃

[zebracorn]

I put mayo on my buns and usually dip in ketchup, that all mixed with the cheese and slightly runny yoke is so tasty

[jennifertennant]

I’m here for the Lorn cameos always. More LORN!

[wolfingitdown]

THANK YOU for not suggesting that I grind my own pork. As much as I love cooking, I am hard pressed to do that for a brekky sando

[nate]

I just found this channel yesterday and I love how you explain how you cook these things throughout the entire video and it’s not annoying either <3
