Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 2 slices of cooked chicken breast
- 2 slices of cheese
- 2 whole grain English muffins
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter for frying
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by gathering them on a clean work surface. Slice the chicken breast if not already prepared, and have cheese slices ready.
- Split the whole grain English muffins in half and lightly toast them until golden brown and crisp around the edges.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the pan surface.
- Crack the eggs into the heated skillet, being careful to keep the yolks intact. Season with salt and pepper to your preference.
- Cook the eggs sunny-side up or over-easy, depending on your preferred egg doneness. Aim for about 2-3 minutes of cooking.
- While eggs are cooking, warm the sliced chicken breast in the same skillet or a separate pan to ensure it's heated through.
- Place a slice of cheese on each piece of toasted English muffin to allow it to slightly melt from the residual heat.
- Carefully place the cooked eggs on top of the cheese-covered muffin halves.
- Layer the warmed chicken breast slices on top of the eggs.
- Close the sandwich by placing the top half of the English muffin over the chicken.
- Cut the sandwich diagonally and serve immediately while still warm.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time in the morning, you can prepare the chicken breast in advance. Cook a batch ahead of time and store it in the fridge for quick assembly.
- Customize Your Cheese: Experiment with different types of cheese like cheddar, pepper jack, or even a creamy goat cheese to add your personal touch to the sandwich.
- Egg Perfection: For a creamier texture, try cooking your eggs over-easy or sunny-side up. If you prefer firmer eggs, flip them for a minute or two longer.
- Add Veggies: Enhance the flavor and nutrition by adding fresh spinach, sliced tomatoes, or avocado to your sandwich. They add a delightful crunch and freshness!
- Toast It Right: Ensure your English muffins are toasted just enough to hold up to the fillings without getting soggy. A light golden brown is perfect!
- Serving Suggestions: Pair your sandwich with a side of fresh fruit or a smoothie for a balanced breakfast that will keep you energized throughout the day.
