2 English muffins, split
02 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
03 -
2 slices cheddar cheese or Swiss cheese

04 -
4 large eggs

05 -
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
08 -
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Pinch black pepper
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until melted.
02 -
Crack the four large eggs directly into the heated skillet and gently break the yolks with a spatula. Evenly distribute the cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, salt, and black pepper over the eggs.
03 -
Immediately place the split English muffin halves, cut-side down, onto the uncooked side of the eggs, ensuring direct contact.
04 -
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the eggs are mostly set and the bottoms of the muffins are lightly toasted.
05 -
Using a wide spatula, carefully invert the entire egg-muffin assembly so the English muffins are now on the skillet surface and the eggs are facing upward.
06 -
Place one slice of cheddar or Swiss cheese over each egg portion.
07 -
Fold the cooked edges of the eggs neatly over the muffins, then press the muffin halves together to form sandwiches.
08 -
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan and toast the assembled sandwiches on both sides until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted, about 2 minutes per side.
09 -
Transfer sandwiches to plates and serve immediately while hot.
# Important Notes:
01 -
For an extra festive touch, add a pinch of orange zest to the eggs before cooking.
02 -
Swap cheddar for gouda or brie to vary the cheese profile.
03 -
Serve alongside cranberry sauce for a balance of sweet and tart flavors.
