Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 sandwich
Ingredients
- 1 whole grain English muffin
- 1 egg
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 slice of cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Split the whole grain English muffin in half and lightly toast both sides until golden brown and crispy.
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with cooking oil or add a small pat of butter.
- Crack the egg into the skillet and cook sunny-side up or over-easy, depending on your preference. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- If using cheese, place the slice on the egg during the last 30 seconds of cooking to allow it to slightly melt.
- While the egg is cooking, slice the avocado into thin, even pieces.
- Once the egg is cooked to your liking, carefully transfer it onto the bottom half of the toasted English muffin.
- Arrange the sliced avocado on top of the egg, fanning the slices for an attractive presentation.
- Sprinkle additional salt and freshly ground black pepper over the avocado if desired.
- Place the top half of the English muffin on the avocado to complete the sandwich.
- Cut the sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately while the egg is still warm and the muffin is crisp.
Tips
- Perfectly Toasted Muffin: For the best texture, toast the English muffin until golden brown and crispy. This adds a delightful crunch that complements the creamy avocado and egg.
- Egg Cooking Techniques: If you love a runny yolk, cook the egg sunny-side up. For a firmer yolk, go for over-easy. Just remember to season it well with salt and pepper for maximum flavor!
- Cheese Lovers Unite: If you’re a cheese enthusiast, don’t skip the optional slice of cheese! Add it to the egg during the last 30 seconds of cooking to achieve a melty, gooey goodness.
- Avocado Slicing: For an appealing presentation, slice the avocado thinly and fan it out over the egg. Not only does it look great, but it also makes every bite a creamy delight.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve your sandwich immediately for the best experience. Pair it with a side of fresh fruit or a smoothie for a well-rounded breakfast that will keep you energized throughout the morning.
