Ingredients
Scale
Chipotle Mayo
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
Sandwich Assembly
- 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 in adobo sauce, and fresh lime juice. Mix until smooth and set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your preferred doneness, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. This could be sunny side up, over easy, or fully cooked as desired.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Toast the English muffins until golden. Spread the prepared chipotle mayo evenly on the cut sides of each muffin. Layer each bottom half with a slice of sharp cheddar cheese, the cooked egg, and bacon or sausage if using. Add avocado slices or baby spinach on top for added freshness. Close the sandwiches with the muffin tops and serve immediately.
Notes
- You can customize the level of spiciness by adjusting the amount of chipotle peppers in the mayo.
- Substitute cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese such as pepper jack or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
- Optional protein such as bacon or sausage patties can be omitted for a vegetarian version.
- To make it lower fat, consider using a light mayonnaise or avocado spread instead of regular mayo.
- Use gluten-free English muffins to make this sandwich gluten-free.
