  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 1 sandwich 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 sturdy yet soft roll or English muffin

Eggs

  • 1–2 eggs, cooked to preference (fried, scrambled, or poached)

Cheese

  • 1 slice sharp cheddar or American cheese (or pepper jack for a spicy twist)

Meat or Alternative

  • 2–3 slices crispy bacon or sausage patty, or plant-based sausage/grilled mushrooms for vegetarian

Fresh Components

  • Fresh greens (like spinach or arugula) or avocado slices

Condiments

  • Mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, chipotle mayo, or honey mustard (optional, to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Bread: Toast your choice of bread until golden and crisp to add texture and prevent sogginess from eggs or condiments.
  2. Cooking the Eggs: Cook eggs as desired—fried, scrambled, or poached. Season lightly with salt and pepper for extra richness.
  3. Cooking Meat or Vegetarian Alternative: Prepare crispy bacon, sausage patties, or plant-based substitutes to achieve a flavorful, slightly crunchy texture.
  4. Layering the Sandwich: Spread your chosen condiment on the toasted bread, then layer cooked eggs, cheese, meat or alternative, and fresh greens or avocado slices.
  5. Final Touch and Serve: Optionally drizzle extra sauce or sprinkle herbs like chives or parsley, then top with the other bread half and press gently to combine all layers.

Notes

  • Toast bread thoroughly to add crunch and prevent sogginess.
  • Use fresh ingredients for best flavor.
  • Keep eggs slightly undercooked for a runny yolk, if desired.
  • Balance textures by combining crunchy, creamy, and tender elements.
  • Avoid overloading the sandwich to keep it manageable and tidy.
