spicy sausage and jack muffin

Sausage and cheese sandwiches used to be a staple of my breakfast routine.  Since going veggie I have experimented with lots of meat substitutes and some are better than others for sure.  Morningstar Farms makes a spicy sausage patty that is one of my favorites.  Here's my vegan take on my old breakfast standby.
