Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking
- 1 teaspoon butter or olive oil
Sandwich Assembly
- 1 English muffin or sandwich bun, toasted
- 1 slice cheddar or Swiss cheese
- 1 slice tomato
- ¼ avocado, sliced
- A few spinach or arugula leaves
- Hot sauce or pesto (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy to ensure a light texture.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat butter or olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, either scrambling the eggs or allowing them to set into an omelet-style patty for a neat sandwich form.
- Add Cheese: Once the eggs are cooked through, place the slice of cheese on top while still in the pan to let it melt slightly, enhancing the sandwich’s creaminess.
- Prepare the Toast: Toast the English muffin or sandwich bun until golden and crisp to provide a sturdy base and delightful crunch.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Layer the bottom half of the toasted muffin with fresh spinach or arugula leaves, then add the cooked eggs topped with melted cheese. Follow with a slice of tomato and avocado slices, and optionally drizzle with hot sauce or pesto for extra flavor.
- Serve: Top with the other half of the muffin, press gently, and serve warm for a satisfying vegetarian breakfast.
Notes
- Prepare the egg mixture and toppings ahead of time for a quick morning assembly.
- Try adding roasted red peppers or a spread of hummus as alternative toppings to vary the flavor.
- You can substitute the cheddar or Swiss cheese with your preferred cheese variety.
- Use whole-grain muffin or bun for added fiber and nutrients.
