Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 4 oz (113 g) fresh goat cheese, crumbled
- 1 avocado, halved, pitted, and sliced
- 4 English muffins, split and lightly toasted
- Butter, for cooking
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Skillet Preparation: Heat an 8-inch skillet over medium flame, establishing a perfect cooking environment for the delicate egg sandwich.
- Butter and Egg Technique: Melt butter in the skillet, then pour whisked egg, swirling to create a thin, even layer while allowing the bottom to set gently.
- Cheese and Folding: Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese across the partially cooked egg, then skillfully fold the egg into a compact quarter-circle, encasing the cheese within its tender embrace.
- Muffin Assembly: Carefully transfer the golden egg parcel onto a warm muffin, positioning it with precision to maintain its elegant structure.
- Final Touches: Season the sandwich with a delicate pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper, then crown with creamy avocado slices to elevate the flavor profile and textural harmony.
Notes
- Master Pan Temperature: Use medium heat to achieve perfect egg texture without burning, ensuring a delicate, golden surface for your sandwich.
- Butter Technique: Melt butter completely before adding egg, creating a non-stick coating that prevents sticking and adds rich, smooth flavor.
- Egg Whisking Secret: Whisk thoroughly until slightly frothy, which introduces air and creates a lighter, more tender egg texture for your sandwich.
- Cheese Distribution Tip: Sprinkle goat cheese evenly while egg is partially cooked to help cheese melt smoothly and integrate with the egg’s surface.
