Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup chopped broccoli
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 English muffins
- Butter for spreading
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables by finely chopping the broccoli into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking and easy sandwich assembly.
- Steam the broccoli in a small pot with a little water for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, allowing it to spread evenly across the pan's surface.
- As eggs begin to set, gently sprinkle the chopped broccoli and shredded cheddar cheese across the surface of the eggs.
- Using a spatula, softly scramble the eggs, folding them gently and ensuring the broccoli and cheese are distributed throughout.
- While eggs are cooking, split and lightly toast the English muffins, then spread a thin layer of butter on each half.
- Once eggs are fully cooked and cheese is melted, remove from heat and divide the mixture into four equal portions.
- Place one portion of the broccoli-cheddar eggs onto each buttered English muffin half.
- Serve immediately while warm, optionally garnishing with additional fresh ground black pepper or herbs if desired.
Tips
- Chop your broccoli finely and uniformly to ensure even cooking and a smooth texture in every bite.
- Steam the broccoli just until bright green to preserve its nutrients and prevent overcooking.
- Whisk your eggs thoroughly to create a light, fluffy texture that will make your sandwich extra delicious.
- Use a non-stick skillet and keep the heat at medium to prevent burning and achieve perfect scrambled eggs.
- Don't skip toasting the English muffins - it adds a delightful crunch and helps prevent sogginess.
- For extra flavor, experiment with different cheese varieties like sharp cheddar, pepper jack, or a cheese blend.
- Prep ingredients in advance to make morning cooking faster and easier.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the sandwich at its peak of warmth and flavor.
