Description
Creamy goat cheese and avocado elevate classic egg sandwiches with Mediterranean flair. Homemade breakfast perfection awaits you with simple ingredients and quick preparation.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 4 oz (113 g) fresh goat cheese, crumbled (about ½ cup)
- 1 avocado, halved, pitted, and sliced
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Butter, for cooking
- 4 English muffins, split and lightly toasted
Instructions
- Preparation: Heat a skillet over medium flame and melt butter to create a smooth cooking surface.
- Egg Technique: Whisk egg thoroughly in a mixing bowl until completely uniform and blended.
- Cooking Foundation: Pour whisked egg into skillet, tilting pan to create a thin, even layer covering the entire bottom, allowing the egg to cook gently.
- Cheese Integration: Distribute goat cheese crumbles across the semi-set egg surface, ensuring consistent coverage and gradual melting.
- Folding Technique: When egg edges firm up and cheese begins to melt, use a spatula to fold the omelet into a compact half-moon shape, creating a delicate egg parcel.
- Sandwich Assembly: Place folded egg onto a pre-toasted English muffin, centering it for balanced presentation.
- Finishing Touch: Arrange avocado wedges strategically on top of the egg, then garnish with a delicate sprinkle of salt and freshly ground black pepper to elevate the flavor profile.
Notes
- Butter Technique: Use medium heat and allow butter to fully melt, creating a non-stick surface that prevents egg from sticking and adds rich flavor.
- Egg Whisking Secrets: Whisk vigorously to incorporate air, ensuring a light and fluffy texture with smooth, uniform consistency.
- Folding Precision: Cook egg until edges firm up and cheese slightly melts, then use a thin spatula to create a gentle quarter-moon fold without tearing.
- Seasoning Finesse: Finish with a light sprinkle of high-quality sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to elevate the overall taste and complement the creamy goat cheese and avocado.
