Breakfast Sandwich Base Recipe

American · Main course · 7 min total

A versatile egg and cheese base that forms the perfect foundation for any breakfast sandwich. Quick to make and endlessly customizable.

Ingredients

• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon milk or water
• 1 slice cheese (American, cheddar, or your choice)
• 1 English muffin or 2 slices bread
• 1 teaspoon butter or oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Split the English muffin and toast it lightly. If using bread, toast the slices.
2. In a small bowl, whisk the egg with milk or water, salt, and pepper until frothy.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil. Pour in the egg mixture and let it cook undisturbed until the edges are set, about 1 minute.
4. Place the cheese slice on top of the egg, then fold the egg in half or into a square shape to fit the bread. Cook for another 30 seconds until cheese melts.
5. Transfer the egg-cheese patty onto the bottom half of the toasted muffin or bread. Top with the other half and serve immediately.

Tips

• Add cooked bacon, sausage, or ham for a heartier sandwich.
• For a spicy kick, add a dash of hot sauce or a slice of jalapeño.
• Make ahead: Cook the egg patty, let cool, and refrigerate. Reheat in a toaster oven or microwave.
• Use a ring mold to shape the egg perfectly round for a uniform sandwich.
