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, and fresh lime juice. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them to your desired doneness—whether that’s sunny side up, over easy, or fully cooked—seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Toast the English muffins until golden and crisp. Spread a generous layer of the prepared chipotle mayo on each toasted muffin half. Layer with a slice of sharp cheddar cheese, then add the cooked egg, and if you like, include bacon or sausage for extra protein. Top with avocado slices or baby spinach for added freshness and nutrition. Close the sandwiches with the other muffin halves and serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust the spice level by increasing or decreasing the amount of chipotle peppers according to your preference.
- Make this recipe vegetarian by omitting bacon or sausage.
- Try different types of cheese such as pepper jack or mozzarella for a varied flavor profile.
