- 2–3 large eggs per sandwich
- 1–2 teaspoons chipotle in adobo sauce or a small piece of a pepper, minced
- Your favorite cheese (sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Pepper Jack)
- Breakfast bread/buns (English muffins, brioche buns, ciabatta rolls, or plain toasted bread)
- Breakfast protein (optional, beef bacon or pre-cooked beef breakfast sausage patty)
- Butter or oil (unsalted butter, olive oil, or avocado oil)
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Optional toppings (sliced avocado, sliced red onion, or pickled jalapeños)
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Cook beef bacon until crispy and set aside. Ensure beef breakfast sausage patties are cooked according to package directions. Slice cheese and any other toppings.
- Toast the Bread: Lightly butter or oil your chosen bread and toast them until golden brown and slightly crisp. Set aside.
- Prepare the Chipotle Eggs: In a small bowl, whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Add chipotle in adobo sauce to the egg mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add butter or oil. Pour in the chipotle egg mixture.
- For Scrambled Eggs: Let the eggs set slightly, then gently push them around with a spatula until cooked through but still soft.
- For Egg Patty: Let the eggs cook undisturbed until edges are set. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds to a minute.
- Melt the Cheese: Just before eggs are fully cooked, place a slice of cheese on top and cover the skillet until melted.
- Assemble Your Sandwich: On the bottom half of the toasted bread, layer the cooked chipotle egg with melted cheese and any optional toppings.
- Serve Immediately: Place the top half of the bread on the sandwich and enjoy hot.
