Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 pieces English muffins
- 0.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 slices Cooked bacon or ham (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped chives (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your broiler to high and ensure the oven rack is in the top position.
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper, then whisk until well combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture.
Cook the eggs gently, stirring constantly with a spatula, until they are just set but still soft and creamy. Remove from heat.
Split the English muffins in half and toast them lightly in a toaster or under the broiler for 1-2 minutes.
Place the toasted muffins on a baking sheet. Evenly distribute the scrambled eggs over the bottom halves of the muffins.
Top the eggs with shredded cheddar cheese and bacon or ham slices, if using.
Transfer the baking sheet to the oven under the broiler. Broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven. Garnish with chopped chives, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Easy Egg Muffin Melts!
