Main Ingredients
- 2 English muffins, split
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 slices cheddar cheese or Swiss cheese
- 4 large eggs
Spices
- 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
- Heat the butter: Heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until melted, preparing the pan for cooking the eggs.
- Cook the eggs with spices: Crack the four large eggs directly into the skillet and gently break the yolks with a spatula. Evenly sprinkle cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, salt, and black pepper over the eggs for flavor.
- Add English muffin halves: Immediately place the split English muffin halves, cut-side down, on the uncooked sides of the eggs, ensuring the muffins make direct contact with the eggs.
- Cook until eggs set and muffins toast: Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the eggs are mostly set and the bottoms of the muffins are lightly toasted.
- Invert the egg-muffin assembly: Using a wide spatula, carefully flip the entire assembly so the English muffins are now directly on the skillet and the eggs face upwards.
- Add cheese slices: Place one slice of cheddar or Swiss cheese on each egg portion to allow it to melt.
- Fold eggs and form sandwiches: Fold the cooked edges of the eggs neatly over the muffins, then press the muffin halves together to form complete sandwiches.
- Toast sandwiches: Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan, then toast the assembled sandwiches on both sides until they are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted, about 2 minutes per side.
- 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.
- Customize the cheese choice between cheddar or Swiss as preferred.
- Adjust spices according to taste or omit if preferred milder flavors.
- Serve immediately to enjoy melted cheese and crisp muffins.
- For extra flavor, consider adding cooked bacon or sausage inside the sandwich.
