I’m taking comfort food to the next level with my Egg Breakfast Sandwich. When I actually decide to take time to eat breakfast, that isn’t dry cereal, McDonald’s Egg McMuffin would always be my first choice. I ate that for decades until I got bored of it. I craved something with more of a pop of flavor. I got sick from fast food and slowly started skipping breakfast as a result of the 2 pm crashes. Low and behold, I learned how to cook my own.
I’ve been perfecting this recipe for years. It started with a simple recreation of the Egg McMuffin on an everything bagel. However, it was still missing something. I wanted my sandwich to stand out from a traditional breakfast sandwich. A few months ago, I started pickling vegetables such as cucumbers, onions, peppers, and jalapenos. I’ve even gone as far as pickling eggs, but I’ll save that for another time. My Totally RAD Pickles will blow your taste buds away. This sandwich is more than comfort food. It’s a balanced meal for those health nuts out there like myself. The pickled vegetables make this breakfast go from great to “OMG this is amazing!” I even went the extra mile to butter the sandwich with fresh herb butter. It’s super easy to prepare and it takes the flavor over the top. You’ll never find anything like this in a restaurant. Find my one of a kind recipe below:
Ingredients:
2 Slices bread of choice
4 slices of deli ham (or 1 serving of breakfast meat of choice)
1 Slice of cheese
A few handfuls of fresh spinach
2 Tbsp. Pickled vegetables such as onions and peppers (or use fresh ones)
1 Egg
1 Tsp Everything Bagel Seasoning
2 Tbsp. Butter, divided
Directions:
In a flat pan, on medium-low heat, toast your bread for 2 minutes on each side. Set it aside.
In a separate skillet, also on medium-low heat, add your breakfast meat. Flip after 1 minute and set aside.
Add a small amount of butter to your skillet. On medium heat, add your spinach. Stir until it starts to wilt (1-2 minutes).
Add the rest of your vegetables to your skillet. Cook for approx. 1 minute and set aside.
Add enough butter to your skillet to coat the pan. Crack your egg. Cook until the egg white is cooked and the yolk is runny. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds for an over-easy egg. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Add more butter to your flat pan. Time to assemble your sandwich! Add your bread and toast on both sides for approx. 1 minute each. Next, add your veggies, egg, and cheese in that order. Last, top your sandwich with your other piece of bread. Flip and let the cheese melt for about a minute.
Remove from the heat, cut in half the triangle way, and serve immediately.
I recently started a YouTube cooking channel, RAD Kitchen where I made a live demo of how I created this delicious breakfast sandwich. Click the link below to view my video.
