Ingredients

Eggs and Proteins

  • Fresh eggs (2 per sandwich)
  • Quality bacon strips or sausage patties (2-3 slices or 1 patty)

Cheese

  • Cheddar or American cheese slices (1-2 per sandwich)

Bread

  • Buttery English muffin or brioche bun (1, split)

Vegetables and Greens

  • Fresh spinach or arugula leaves (a handful)
  • Tomato slices (2-3 thin slices)

Cooking Essentials

  • Butter or oil (1-2 tablespoons)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Crisp the bacon or cook the sausage patties in a skillet until golden and thoroughly cooked, then set aside. Rinse and pat dry the spinach or arugula leaves and slice the tomato thinly for layering.
  2. Cook the Eggs: In the same skillet, melt a small amount of butter and cook the eggs to your preferred style—fried over easy or softly scrambled—seasoning with salt and pepper as they cook.
  3. Toast the Bread: Split the English muffin or brioche bun and toast it lightly in the skillet or toaster until edges are golden and crisp, enhancing texture.
  4. Assemble the Sandwich: Layer the toasted bottom bread with spinach or arugula, then add the cooked eggs, followed by bacon or sausage, tomato slices, and cheese. Top with the other bread half and press gently to hold everything together.
  5. Melt the Cheese: Optionally place the assembled sandwich back in the skillet on low heat, cover with a lid for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese perfectly and warm all layers through.

Notes

  • Use room temperature eggs for more even cooking and fluffier texture.
  • Cook proteins first to use flavorful drippings for toasting bread or cooking eggs.
  • Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking and best texture.
  • Choose sturdy breads with slight crunch to prevent sogginess from moisture.
  • Wrap sandwiches in parchment paper while warm for easy on-the-go meals that lock in moisture and heat.
