Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- 1 slice sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup arugula (or spinach)
- 2 tablespoons crispy fried onions
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and sriracha sauce until smooth. Set aside.
Crack the eggs into another bowl, add the salt and pepper, and beat with a fork until combined.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Once the butter is foamy, pour in the eggs.
Scramble the eggs gently, stirring constantly with a spatula until they are soft and just set. Remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.
Toast the bread slices until golden and crispy.
Spread the sriracha mayonnaise evenly on one side of each slice of toasted bread.
On the bottom slice, layer the arugula, scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and crispy fried onions.
Top with the second slice of bread, sriracha mayonnaise side down, and gently press the sandwich together.
Cut the sandwich in half diagonally for easier handling, and serve immediately while warm.
