Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk or cream
- 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Sandwich Assembly
- 4 English muffins or sandwich buns, split and toasted
- 4 slices crispy bacon
- 1 avocado, sliced
Chipotle Mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon chipotle in adobo sauce (or more for extra heat)
Cooking Fat
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, chipotle powder, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy for fluffy scrambled eggs.
- Cook the eggs: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt a little butter or warm some oil. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and stir gently, cooking the eggs until they are just softly scrambled but still moist. Remove the pan from heat and set aside to prevent overcooking.
- Make the chipotle mayo: In a separate small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with chipotle in adobo sauce thoroughly. Adjust the amount of chipotle sauce based on your desired spice level.
- Toast the bread: Split and toast the English muffins or sandwich buns until golden and slightly crisp for texture contrast.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spread the chipotle mayo evenly on the bottom halves of the toasted muffins or buns. Add a generous scoop of the scrambled chipotle eggs, top with a slice of crispy bacon and a few slices of fresh avocado for creaminess and richness.
- Finish the sandwich: Place the top half of the muffin or bun on each sandwich to enclose the filling. Serve immediately while warm for the best taste experience.
Notes
- For extra heat, increase the chipotle powder in the eggs or add more chipotle in adobo sauce to the mayo.
- Use bacon alternatives or omit bacon to make this sandwich vegetarian.
- Avocado can be mashed with lime juice as an alternative topping for added zest.
- Toast the English muffins well to prevent sogginess from the moist fillings.
- This recipe works well with sourdough or ciabatta buns for different texture and flavor.
