Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 English Muffin (split and toasted, buttered if desired)
Egg Mixture
- 1 large egg (or egg substitute equivalent to 1 egg)
- 1 tablespoon water (beaten with egg)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Toppings
- 1 slice cheese
- 1-2 pieces Canadian bacon (or cooked sausage patty or cooked bacon slices)
Instructions
- Prepare the skillet: Spray a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray and preheat it over medium-high heat to ensure the egg cooks evenly without sticking.
- Cook the egg: Pour the beaten egg mixed with water into the skillet and tilt the pan to spread the egg evenly across the bottom. Season with salt and pepper if desired. Cook until the egg is fully set and no longer runny.
- Fold the egg: Carefully fold the left and right edges of the cooked egg over the middle, then fold the top and bottom edges over the middle, creating a compact folded shape suitable for sandwich assembly.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place the folded egg on the bottom half of the toasted English muffin. Layer the cheese slice and Canadian bacon (or your choice of cooked meat) on top of the egg, then cover with the top half of the muffin.
Notes
- Butter the English muffin after toasting for extra flavor if desired.
- You can substitute Canadian bacon with cooked sausage patties or regular bacon slices to suit your preference.
- Using water when beating the egg helps create a fluffier texture.
- Cook over medium heat to avoid browning the egg too quickly or burning.
- This sandwich can be easily customized with additional toppings like tomato slices or spinach.
