Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Butter
- 1 slice Cheddar cheese
- 1 piece Bacon or sausage patty
- 2 slices or halves Bread or English muffin
- 1 teaspoon Mayonnaise or butter (optional)
Instructions
1. Begin by toasting the bread or English muffin halves to your desired level of crispiness. You can use a toaster or a hot skillet for this step.
2. Cook the bacon or sausage patty in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked and crispy. Set it aside on a paper towel to drain excess grease.
3. In a small bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
4. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of butter. Once melted, pour in the beaten eggs.
5. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 20-30 seconds, then gently fold and stir with a spatula until softly scrambled and cooked through. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.
6. Assemble the eggwich by spreading a thin layer of mayonnaise or butter (if using) on one side of the toasted bread or muffin halves.
7. Add the scrambled eggs, top with the slice of cheddar cheese, and follow with the cooked bacon or sausage patty.
8. Finish by placing the second piece of toasted bread or muffin on top to complete the sandwich.
9. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious eggwich!
