Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich Components
- 4 English muffins, split and toasted
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices cheddar or pepper jack cheese
- 4 cooked sausage patties or crispy bacon strips
- ½ avocado, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh spinach or arugula
Chipotle Mayo
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon adobo sauce from canned chipotle peppers
For Cooking
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for cooking eggs)
Instructions
- Prepare the eggs: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter or heat the oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them to your preferred style—sunny side up, over easy, or scrambled. Season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
- Toast the muffins: While the eggs cook, toast the English muffins until they turn golden brown and have a slight crisp.
- Make chipotle mayo: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons mayonnaise with 1 teaspoon adobo sauce from canned chipotle peppers to create a smoky, spicy spread.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spread the chipotle mayo evenly on the cut sides of each toasted English muffin. Layer the bottom halves with a cooked sausage patty or crispy bacon strips, then place the cooked egg on top. Add a slice of cheese, followed by a few slices of avocado. If desired, add fresh spinach or arugula for an extra fresh bite.
- Finish and serve: Place the top halves of the muffins over the assembled layers and press gently to hold the sandwich together. Serve the sandwiches warm for the best experience.
Notes
- To make chipotle mayo, mix 2 tablespoons mayonnaise with 1 teaspoon adobo sauce from canned chipotle peppers.
- These sandwiches can be prepared ahead of time, wrapped in foil, and reheated in the oven or microwave for convenience.
- For a vegetarian option, omit the meat or substitute with a plant-based sausage patty.
