Ingredients
Scale
Chipotle Mayo
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
Sandwich
- 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 thoroughly until smooth and well blended. Set the chipotle mayo aside to let the flavors meld while you prepare the rest of the sandwich.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Cook the eggs to your preferred doneness—fried, over easy, or scrambled—ensuring the whites are set and the yolks are cooked as desired.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Toast the English muffins until golden brown. Spread a generous layer of the prepared chipotle mayo on the cut sides of each muffin. Then, layer with a slice of sharp cheddar cheese followed by the cooked egg. Add the cooked bacon or sausage patties if using, and top with optional avocado slices or baby spinach for added freshness. Close each sandwich with the top muffin half and serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust the spice level by adding more or less minced chipotle peppers according to your preference.
- This recipe can easily be made vegetarian by omitting the bacon or sausage.
- Try experimenting with different types of cheese, such as pepper jack or mozzarella, for varied flavor combinations.
