Ingredients
Egg Mixture:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 tablespoon chopped pickled jalapeños
- 4 sandwich buns or English muffins (toasted)
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Egg Mixture: Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Add Flavor: While the eggs are still warm, stir in the chopped pickled jalapeños and cream cheese until melted and creamy.
- Assemble Sandwich: Place a slice of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of each toasted bun or muffin. Spoon the hot egg mixture over the cheese and top with another slice of cheddar. Drizzle with hot sauce if using, and sprinkle with chives. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until scrambled and just set.
Notes
- For extra spice, add a dash of cayenne pepper to the eggs or use pepper jack instead of cheddar.
- This sandwich can be made ahead and wrapped in foil for a quick grab-and-go breakfast.
