Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, add a splash of heavy cream to the egg before cooking. You can substitute the ham or bacon with turkey bacon or a vegetarian sausage patty for a healthier option. If you prefer a bit of spice, try adding hot sauce or a slice of jalapeño. This dish is inspired by classic American recipes, making it a versatile breakfast option.
Serving Suggestions
This sandwich is perfect for a quick breakfast on the go or a leisurely brunch. Serve it with a side of fresh fruit or crispy hash browns for a complete meal. A drizzle of hollandaise sauce can elevate the dish, making it an indulgent treat. It also pairs beautifully with a side of Janell'S Beans for a hearty twist.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the sandwich in a microwave for 30-45 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can heat it in a skillet over low heat for a few minutes to maintain the crispiness of the English muffin.
