Ingredients
- For the muffins:
- 245g plain flour
- 1/2tsp salt
- 1tsp caster sugar
- 5g instant yeast
- 35g butter, room temperature plus 1tbs, to cook
- 150ml milk
- 1tsp cornflour
- For the sausage patty:
- 550g minced pork
- 25g breadcrumbs
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2tsp black pepper
- 1/2tsp paprika
- 1/2tsp onion powder
- 1/2tsp dried sage
- 1 egg
- For the tomato relish:
- 400g tomatoes, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 25g brown sugar
- 25g white wine vinegar
- 1/2tsp cumin
- 1/2tsp ginger powder
- Salt and pepper
- For the egg topping:
- 4 eggs
- 1tbs cooking oil
- For the muffins: in a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, sugar and instant yeast. Add the softened butter and milk and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about eight minutes, until it becomes smooth. Divide the dough into six equal pieces and shape them into balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and sprinkle the cornflour on top. Cover the baking sheet with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise for about an hour (or make the day before and let them prove overnight).
- Heat a non-stick pan, and melt the butter in the pan. Flatten the muffins slightly, while keeping the round shape. Add the muffins to the pan and cook for about eight minutes either side. Place a lid on the pan to allow steam to form, which will ensure they are cooked through. Allow them to cool before serving.
- For the sausage: mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl and divide the mixture into four pieces. Roll the sausage into a round shape. Heat the butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat and cook the sausage patties for about five minutes on each side, until they are browned and cooked through.
- For the relish: in a saucepan, combine all of the ingredients and cook over a medium heat for an hour, stirring occasionally.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook until the white is set and the yolk is still runny.
- To assemble, split the muffins in half and toast them. Place a sausage patty on the bottom half of each muffin, followed by a spoonful of tomato relish, the egg and some salt and pepper.
