Egg Sandwich Muffin Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 English muffin, halved and toasted
- 1 teaspoon butter or oil
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon fresh herbs like chives or parsley (optional)
- 1 slice cheddar or American cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Toast the Muffin: Slice the English muffin in half and toast it until it reaches a golden brown color. Set aside while you prepare the eggs.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter or oil, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
- Cook the Eggs: Crack the eggs into the skillet carefully. Cook them until the whites are fully set, but the yolks remain runny. To help cook evenly, cover the pan briefly if needed.
- Season the Eggs: Sprinkle kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes over the eggs. If you’re using fresh herbs like chives or parsley, add them now for a burst of fresh flavor.
- Melt the Cheese: Place a slice of cheese over the eggs and cover the pan briefly to allow the cheese to melt thoroughly.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Place the cooked eggs with melted cheese on the bottom half of the toasted English muffin. Top with the second muffin half, press gently, and serve warm. Enjoy your quick and tasty egg sandwich muffin!
Notes
- Use a nonstick skillet for easy egg cooking and flipping.
- Covering the pan helps cook the eggs evenly without overcooking the yolks.
- Customizable with your choice of cheese or fresh herbs to enhance flavor.
- For a less runny yolk, cook eggs a little longer before assembling.
- This sandwich is perfect for on-the-go breakfast or a quick snack.
