How To Make a Breakfast Sandwich Crammed with Big Flavor

Here is a great breakfast sandwich to start your day off right!

Breakfast literally means to break the mini fast that you have been on overnight while you were sleeping. This protein packed , crunchy cheesy scrambled egg on an English muffin sandwich is a great way to “break the fast”, wake up your taste buds and power you through your morning.

When you bite into this Breakfast Sandwich there is the crunch of toasted English muffin, the coolness of the mayo, spiciness of the sriracha, the creaminess of the egg and the fun to eat string factor from the melted cheese.  Condiments are important and this recipe demonstrates this idea. Without the spicy mayo it’s a good Breakfast Sandwich consisting of English muffin, cheese and melted cheese. With the mayo it is a great sandwich. The spicy mayo takes this sandwich to a higher level.

There is a debate at our house on the number of eggs. My wife Pam prefers one egg instead of two insisting that the egg to muffin ratio is better with only one egg. I prefer two eggs to get the extra protein and I think it keeps the egg a little more dominant. It is the star of the show isn’t it? Isn’t the English muffin there just to support the egg? The debate continues here.

The secret to making this sandwich effortlessly is to determine the proper cooking time for the eggs in your microwave. See my previous post on mastering cooking eggs in the microwave.
