Ingredients
Scale
- 4 English muffins (halved)
- Softened butter (for toasting the English muffins)
- 4 slices cheddar or provolone cheese
- 6 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil for greasing the pan
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper (adjusted to your preference)
- 4 slices cooked bacon
- 1 large avocado (mashed)
- Freshly chopped chives (for garnish (optional))
- Optional Garnishes: Slices of tomato (arugula, pickled red onions, and hot sauce)
Instructions
- Prepare the English Muffins: Spread a thin layer of softened butter on each English muffin half. Toast the muffins in a toaster or in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown. Set aside.
- Cook the Eggs: In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan, cooking them to your preferred doneness (scrambled, sunny-side-up, or over-easy).
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Place a slice of cheddar or provolone cheese on the bottom half of each toasted English muffin. Top each with a cooked egg, a slice of bacon, and a dollop of mashed avocado. Add optional toppings like tomato slices, arugula, or pickled red onions for extra flavor.
- Finish and Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped chives, if desired, and add a dash of hot sauce for some heat. Place the top half of the English muffin over the fillings and serve warm.
Notes
- Make It Dairy-Free: Use dairy-free cheese and olive oil instead of butter.
- Make It Vegetarian: Swap bacon for sautéed mushrooms or roasted red peppers.
- Storage: Store assembled sandwiches in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheating: Warm in the toaster oven (5-7 minutes) or oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes for the best texture.
