Ingredients
Scale
Chipotle Mayonnaise
- 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 until smooth and well mixed, then set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs carefully into the skillet and cook until the whites are set and yolks are cooked to your desired doneness. Season with salt and pepper during cooking for enhanced flavor.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Toast the English muffins until golden brown. Spread a generous layer of the prepared chipotle mayo on each cut side of the muffins. Layer each bottom muffin half with a slice of sharp cheddar cheese, the cooked egg, and bacon or sausage if using. Add avocado slices or baby spinach if desired. Close the sandwich with the top muffin half and serve immediately.
