Viral Egg Sandwich Muffin (Printable Version)

Fluffy spiced eggs, melted cheese, and toasted muffins create a festive, comforting breakfast packed with flavor.

# What You'll Need:

→ Bread & Dairy

01 - 2 English muffins, split
02 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
03 - 2 slices cheddar cheese or Swiss cheese

→ Eggs

04 - 4 large eggs

→ Spices

05 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
06 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
07 - 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
08 - 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
09 - Pinch salt
10 - 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.
