Inside, there are two thick layers of fluffy, yellow scrambled eggs, positioned between the bread. Between the egg layers and on top, there is a creamy sauce with a light orange color, dripping down the sides. Small green herbs are sprinkled on the sauce and eggs, adding a fresh look.

Ingredients

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon canned chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (minced)

1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
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

Step 1: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced chipotle peppers, and lime juice. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Step 2: Heat the butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your preferred doneness, seasoning with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Toast the English muffins until golden. Spread the chipotle mayo evenly on the cut sides of each muffin.
Step 4: Assemble the sandwiches by layering a slice of cheddar cheese, the cooked egg, and bacon or sausage if using. Add avocado slices or baby spinach for extra freshness.
Step 5: Close the sandwiches and serve immediately while warm.

Tips & Variations

For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of chipotle peppers or omit entirely from the mayo.
Try replacing bacon or sausage with sautéed mushrooms or a slice of tomato for a vegetarian version.
Use pepper jack cheese instead of cheddar for an extra spicy kick.

To save time in the morning, prepare the chipotle mayo the night before and store in the refrigerator.

Storage

Store any leftover sandwiches wrapped tightly in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a toaster oven or microwave until warmed through. To preserve bread texture, unwrap the sandwiches before microwaving and toast the muffins separately if needed.

How to Serve

The image shows a close-up of two stacked breakfast sandwiches on a white marbled surface. Each sandwich has three visible layers: the top and bottom layers are golden-brown toasted English muffins with a soft, airy texture. The middle layer consists of a thick, fluffy yellow scrambled egg patty. Below the egg, there is a sausage patty with a dark brown, slightly crispy outside. Between the layers, a creamy light orange sauce drips down, dotted with small green herbs, adding a fresh look. A woman's hand is gently holding the sandwich stack from the side, showing the melty, rich filling inside. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these sandwiches vegan or dairy-free?

Yes, use vegan mayonnaise and substitute the eggs with tofu scramble or a plant-based egg alternative. Replace cheese with a dairy-free option or omit it altogether.
