There's a sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich inside each of these muffins

Breakfast Sandwich Muffin - Thrillist Recipes

Muffin bottoms just got cool. 

To help you avoid the confounding breakfast choice between a delicious sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich or an also-delicious muffin, we created the Breakfast Sandwich Muffin, an early morning behemoth that bakes sausage, egg, and cheese right into a sweet, buttery cornbread muffin.

Douse each bite with hot sauce or maple syrup, or, hell, both. Then go to sleep and do it all over again.

The ultimate breakfast sandwich isn't a sandwich at all... it's a muffin.
