Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich Base
- 2 pieces English Muffins (whole grain recommended)
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for toasting muffins)
Eggs
- 4 large Eggs (for fluffiest scramble)
- 2 tablespoons Milk (omit for dairy-free)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
Avocado Spread
- 1 large Avocado (sprinkle with lemon juice)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (to prevent browning)
Protein and Cheese
- 4 slices Bacon (or vegetarian bacon)
- 2 slices Cheddar Cheese (or plant-based alternative)
Optional Fresh Additions
- 1 medium Tomato (optional)
- 1 cup Spinach (or other greens)
Instructions
- Preparation Steps: Gather and prepare all ingredients to ensure smooth cooking and assembly.
- Crisp the Bacon: Cook the bacon in a dry skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain excess grease.
- Toast Muffins: Toast the English muffins until golden brown, roughly 3-5 minutes. After toasting, spread butter lightly on each muffin half for enhanced flavor.
- Scramble Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until combined. Cook the mixture in a skillet over medium-low heat, stirring gently, until just set but still soft, about 3-4 minutes.
- Prepare Avocado: In a small bowl, mash the avocado lightly with lemon juice to create a creamy, flavorful spread that will prevent browning.
- Assemble Sandwiches: On the bottom half of each toasted muffin, layer scrambled eggs, a slice of cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, and the avocado spread. Add slices of tomato and spinach leaves if desired for freshness and extra nutrients.
- Serve Warm: Place the top half of the muffin on each sandwich. Serve immediately to enjoy the sandwich warm and melty.
Notes
- You can substitute vegetarian or plant-based bacon and cheese to make the sandwich vegetarian.
- Omit milk from eggs to make it dairy-free.
- Adding fresh tomato and spinach is optional but adds great flavor and nutrition.
- For extra tang, add a dash of hot sauce or mustard to taste.
- The recipe can be doubled easily to serve more people.
