Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese
- 4 whole wheat English muffins
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: hot sauce or sliced avocado for serving
Instructions
- In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
- Crack 4 eggs into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
- Place a slice of cheddar cheese on each egg and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
- While the eggs are cooking, split the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of butter on each toasted muffin half.
- Assemble the sandwiches by placing one cheesy egg on the bottom half of each muffin. Top with the other half of the muffin.
- Serve immediately, adding hot sauce or sliced avocado if desired.
Notes
- For a meatier option, add cooked bacon or sausage patties to the sandwich.
- Experiment with different cheeses like pepper jack or Swiss for a unique flavor twist.
