Ingredients
Scale
Chipotle Mayo
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
Sandwich Components
- 4 English muffins, split and toasted
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 slices cooked bacon or sausage patties (optional)
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Avocado slices or baby spinach (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chipotle Mayo: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced chipotle peppers, and fresh lime juice. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Set this spicy mayo aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat butter or oil over medium heat in a nonstick skillet. Crack the eggs into the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook the eggs to your desired doneness, whether sunny side up, over easy, or fully cooked through.
- Toast the English Muffins: While the eggs are cooking, split the English muffins and toast them until golden brown.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread the prepared chipotle mayo evenly on the cut sides of each toasted muffin. Then layer each with a slice of sharp cheddar cheese, a cooked egg, and bacon or sausage if using. Add avocado slices or baby spinach for extra freshness. Close the sandwiches and serve immediately.
Notes
