Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices or halves Bread (English muffin, bagel, or sliced bread)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Butter (optional, for toasting)
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 slice Cheese (cheddar, American, or your choice)
- 1 piece Protein (bacon, sausage patty, or ham)
- 2 slices or leaves Vegetables (optional, such as tomato slices or spinach leaves)
- 1 tablespoon Condiments (optional, such as mayonnaise, ketchup, or hot sauce)
Instructions
Toast your choice of bread to desired crispiness. If using butter, spread it on the bread halves before toasting.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chosen protein (bacon, sausage patty, or ham) until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, crack two eggs. Cook them as desired—scrambled, over-easy, or fried. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper for seasoning.
If using cheese, place a slice of cheese on top of one egg while it's still in the skillet to help it melt slightly.
Assemble your sandwich: Start with one piece of bread as the base. Layer the cooked protein, vegetables of your choice, cooked eggs (with or without cheese), and any additional condiments you prefer.
Top with the second piece of bread and press gently to hold the sandwich together.
Serve warm and enjoy your customized breakfast egg sandwich!
