Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 2 English muffins, split
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 slices cheddar cheese or Swiss cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Spices & Seasonings

  • 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

  1. Heat Butter: Heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until melted to prepare the pan for cooking eggs.
  2. Cook Eggs with Spices: Crack the four large eggs directly into the heated skillet and gently break the yolks with a spatula. Evenly distribute the cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, salt, and black pepper over the eggs to infuse the flavor.
  3. Place Muffins on Eggs: Immediately place the split English muffin halves, cut-side down, onto the uncooked side of the eggs ensuring direct contact for toasting and flavor absorption.
  4. Cook Until Set: Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the eggs are mostly set and the bottoms of the muffins are lightly toasted, creating a nice crisp base.
  5. Flip Assembly: Using a wide spatula, carefully invert the entire egg-muffin assembly so the English muffins are now on the skillet surface and the eggs face upward, preparing for cheese addition.
  6. Add Cheese: Place one slice of cheddar or Swiss cheese over each egg portion so the cheese starts melting on the warm eggs.
  7. Fold and Press: Fold the cooked edges of the eggs neatly over the muffins, then press the muffin halves together firmly to form sandwiches for easier handling and uniform toasting.
  8. Toast Sandwiches: Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the pan and toast the assembled sandwiches on both sides until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted, about 2 minutes per side, ensuring a crispy exterior.
  9. Serve Hot: Transfer the sandwiches to plates and serve immediately while hot for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use a nonstick skillet for easy flipping and cooking without sticking.
  • Feel free to swap cheddar or Swiss cheese with your favorite melting cheese.
  • Adjust the spice quantities to suit your taste preference or omit if you prefer a classic egg flavor.
  • Serve with fresh fruit or a side salad for a complete breakfast.
  • Leftover sandwiches can be wrapped and refrigerated, then reheated in a skillet or toaster oven.
