Description
The Viral Egg Sandwich Muffin is a culinary gem that balances convenience with extraordinary flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 English muffins, split
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 slices cheddar cheese or Swiss cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- Pinch salt
- Pinch black pepper
Instructions
- Start by heating up 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. This step is crucial as it not only adds flavor to your eggs but also prepares the skillet for the cooking process by creating a nonstick surface. Ensure the butter is fully melted and bubbly but avoid browning it.
- Once the butter is melted, crack the four large eggs directly into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks all at once. Use a spatula to gently break the yolks and gently spread the eggs out so that they cook evenly. This is the moment to add your spice blend—sprinkle cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, salt, and black pepper evenly over the eggs, infusing them with aroma and flavor.
- Take the split English muffin halves and place them cut-side down onto the uncooked side of the eggs. This will allow the muffins to crisp up beautifully while absorbing some of the flavors from the eggs. Let the mixture cook for about 2 to 3 minutes until the eggs start to set and the muffin bottoms are golden brown.
- Using a wide spatula, carefully flip the entire assembly so that the muffins are now on the skillet surface with the eggs facing upward. Make sure everything stays intact here. Place one slice of your chosen cheese over each egg portion, letting it melt slightly before proceeding.
- Fold the edges of the cooked eggs over the muffins neatly, ensuring the fillings are secured. Gently press the muffin halves together to form a sandwich. This step not only helps them hold together but also locks in the delicious flavors.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet and toast the assembled sandwiches on each side until they achieve a golden brown color and the cheese is fully melted, which should take about 2 minutes per side. This final toast will add irresistible crunch and allow the cheese to create a gooey, tasty finish.
