Recipe Introduction
"As told by the Legend himself: 'The first song I wrote directly inspired by Chrissy was a song called 'Good Morning,' from my album Evolver. That song is not about making her a breakfast sandwich. It's about making...something else. But she *loves* my breakfast sandwich. And I *love* good mornings. So the a.m. is a wonderful time in our house. Enjoy!"

Recipe
Make the sausage patties:
In a large bowl, mix the pork, onion, brown sugar, garlic, vegetable oil, sage, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper with your hands until uniform (don't, like, mash it or overmix it�just until it's all nicely mixed together). Form into four 4-inch round patties.
Coat a cast-iron skillet with oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the sausage patties and fry until browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side per side (8 minutes total). Transfer to a platter and cover to keep warm.
Assemble the sandwiches:
Split and toast the English muffins, then butter them. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if you'd like. Arrange one thick or two regular slices of cheese on four of the muffin halves. Top each with a sausage patty and an egg. Squirt some Sriracha on top of the eggs and top with the remaining muffin halves.
