Description
A delicious and unique twist on a classic egg sandwich featuring spiced eggs and toasted English muffins.
Ingredients
- 2 English muffins, split
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 slices cheddar cheese or Swiss cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- Pinch salt
- Pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until melted.
- Crack the four large eggs directly into the heated skillet and gently break the yolks with a spatula. Evenly distribute the cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, salt, and black pepper over the eggs.
- Immediately place the split English muffin halves, cut-side down, onto the uncooked side of the eggs, ensuring direct contact.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the eggs are mostly set and the bottoms of the muffins are lightly toasted.
- Using a wide spatula, carefully invert the entire egg-muffin assembly so the English muffins are now on the skillet surface and the eggs are facing upward.
- Place one slice of cheddar or Swiss cheese over each egg portion.
- Fold the cooked edges of the eggs neatly over the muffins, then press the muffin halves together to form sandwiches.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan and toast the assembled sandwiches on both sides until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted, about 2 minutes per side.
- Transfer sandwiches to plates and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
For a spicier flavor, consider adding a dash of cayenne pepper. You can use your favorite cheese and customize with additional toppings such as avocado or sliced tomatoes.
