Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 pieces English Muffins (whole grain recommended)
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for toasting muffins)
- 4 large Eggs (for fluffiest scramble)
- 2 tablespoons Milk (omit for dairy-free)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 large Avocado (sprinkle with lemon juice)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (to prevent browning)
- 4 slices Bacon (or vegetarian bacon)
- 2 slices Cheddar Cheese (or plant-based alternative)
- 1 medium Tomato (optional)
- 1 cup Spinach (or other greens)
Instructions
- Preparation Steps: Gather all ingredients and prepare your workstation to have everything ready for cooking.
- Crisp the Bacon: Cook the bacon in a dry skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Once done, drain the excess fat by placing the bacon on paper towels.
- Toast Muffins: Toast the English muffins until they turn golden brown, which should take about 3-5 minutes. After toasting, spread lightly with butter to enhance the flavor.
- Scramble Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Pour the mixture into a skillet set over medium-low heat and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Prepare Avocado: In a small bowl, combine the avocado with lemon juice and mash slightly to create a creamy spread that prevents browning.
- Assemble Sandwiches: On the bottom half of each toasted muffin, layer the scrambled eggs, followed by cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, and the mashed avocado. If desired, add sliced tomato and fresh spinach for added flavor and nutrition.
- Serve Warm: Place the top halves of the muffins onto the sandwiches and serve immediately while the cheese is melty and the sandwich is warm.
Notes
- You can substitute bacon with vegetarian bacon to make this sandwich vegetarian.
- For a dairy-free version, omit the milk and use plant-based cheese alternatives.
- Adding fresh tomato and spinach is optional but adds a refreshing taste and extra nutrients.
- If you prefer a crunchier texture, you can toast the muffins longer but be careful not to burn them.
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice to keep the avocado from browning and maintain its vibrant color.
