Ingredients
Scale
- 4 English muffins, split
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices cheddar cheese (substitute with Swiss or pepper jack for a twist)
- 4 breakfast sausage patties (turkey sausage or plant-based options work great too)
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 2 tbsp butter (for toasting the muffins)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Toast the Muffins: Lightly butter the cut sides of the English muffins. Toast them in a skillet until golden and crisp. Set aside.
- Cook the Sausage: In the same skillet, cook the sausage patties over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.
- Prepare the Eggs: Crack the eggs into the skillet. For scrambled eggs, whisk with a splash of milk for fluffiness; for fried eggs, cook sunny-side-up. Season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Place a slice of cheese on the bottom half of each toasted muffin. Add the sausage patty, then the cooked egg, avocado slices, and fresh spinach. Top with the other muffin half.
- Melt & Finish: Return the assembled sandwiches to the skillet. Cover with a lid and heat gently until the cheese melts. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Meal Prep Tip: Make ahead, wrap in foil, and freeze. Reheat in the microwave for a quick breakfast on busy mornings.
- Variations: Swap sausage for crispy bacon, add sliced tomatoes, or use a croissant or bagel instead of an English muffin.
- Spicy Twist: Add a dash of hot sauce or a slice of pepper jack cheese for a kick.
