Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
English muffins give this sandwich that classic breakfast feel, but brioche buns or sourdough slices work beautifully too. Just toast them well so they hold everything together.
Cheddar melts nicely and adds richness, but Swiss or provolone are great options if you want a milder flavor. For a lighter sandwich, you can use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon.
Choose an avocado that gives slightly when pressed. That creamy texture makes every bite feel indulgent without being heavy.
Instructions
- Cook the bacon in a dry skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- While the bacon finishes cooking, toast the English muffins until golden. Lightly butter the warm halves.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease it. Pour in the eggs and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until just set and soft.
- In a small bowl, gently toss the sliced avocado with lemon juice.
- Assemble the sandwiches by layering scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, bacon, and avocado on the bottom half of each muffin. Add tomato and spinach if using.
- Top with the remaining muffin halves and serve warm.
Pro Tips for Success
- Cook the eggs low and slow to keep them soft and fluffy.
- Toast the muffins well so they do not get soggy.
- Add the cheese while the eggs are still warm so it melts slightly.
- Slice the avocado just before assembling for the freshest flavor.
Storage and Reheating
These breakfast sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh. If needed, store the cooked components separately in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Reheat the eggs and bacon gently, then assemble with fresh avocado for the best texture.
Make Ahead and Freezing
You can cook the bacon and eggs ahead of time and store them in the fridge. Assemble the sandwiches fresh in the morning for the best results.
Freezing is not recommended once avocado is added, as it changes texture when thawed.
Tips and Variations
- Add a fried egg instead of scrambled for a runny yolk.
- Swap bacon for sausage patties or ham.
- Add a spoon of pesto or hot sauce for extra flavor.
- Use egg whites only for a lighter option.
- Turn this into a breakfast-for-dinner favorite with roasted potatoes on the side.
FAQs
