Ingredients
Scale
- 4 English muffins, split in half
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices of cheese (cheddar, American, or your favorite)
- 4 slices of cooked bacon or sausage patties
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Butter or cooking spray, for greasing
- Optional: avocado slices, spinach, or tomato slices for added flavor
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Split the English muffins in half. Optionally, toast them lightly in a toaster or on a skillet with a bit of butter until golden brown.
- Place the muffin halves on a baking sheet, cut side up. Optionally, spread a thin layer of butter on each half.
- In a medium-sized non-stick skillet, heat a small amount of butter or cooking spray over medium heat.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the heated skillet. Cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until the edges start to set.
- Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing them from the edges toward the center. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until fully cooked but still soft and fluffy. Remove from heat.
- Place a slice of cheese on the bottom half of each toasted muffin.
- Add a slice of cooked bacon or a sausage patty on top of the cheese. If using optional ingredients, add them now.
- Spoon a generous amount of scrambled eggs over the meat layer.
- Place the top half of the muffin on each sandwich.
- For extra warmth and melted cheese, place the assembled sandwiches back in the oven for 5-7 minutes. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
- Remove the sandwiches from the oven and let them cool for a minute.
- Serve warm, either on a plate or wrapped in parchment paper for a grab-and-go option.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warmed through.
Notes
- Feel free to swap out the cheese or use turkey bacon or veggie sausage for a lighter option.
- For a healthier twist, use whole grain or gluten-free English muffins and add more veggies to the scrambled eggs.
- Consider doubling the recipe for a crowd and keep scrambled eggs warm in a slow cooker while assembling sandwiches.
