Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup chopped broccoli
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 4 whole grain English muffins
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 large eggs, 1 cup of chopped broccoli, 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, 4 whole grain English muffins, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. This will be used to cook the broccoli and eggs.
- While the skillet is heating, chop the broccoli into small, bite-sized pieces. This will help it cook evenly and fit well into the sandwich.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the chopped broccoli. Sauté the broccoli for about 3-4 minutes, or until it becomes tender and bright green. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- While the broccoli is cooking, crack the 4 large eggs into a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then whisk the eggs until they are well combined.
- After the broccoli is cooked, push it to one side of the skillet. Pour the whisked eggs into the other side of the skillet. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes until they start to set around the edges.
- Using a spatula, gently scramble the eggs, mixing them with the broccoli as they finish cooking. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked but still moist.
- Once the eggs and broccoli are cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid for about 1 minute, allowing the cheese to melt.
- While the cheese is melting, slice the whole grain English muffins in half and toast them in a toaster or on a separate skillet until golden brown.
- Once the cheese has melted, remove the skillet from the heat. Carefully spoon the broccoli, egg, and cheese mixture onto the bottom half of each toasted English muffin.
- Top each sandwich with the other half of the English muffin to complete the breakfast sandwiches.
- Serve the sandwiches warm, and enjoy your delicious Broccoli Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwiches!
Tips
- Prep Like a Pro: Chop your broccoli and gather ingredients before you start cooking to ensure a smooth, stress-free preparation.
- Cheese Selection Matters: Choose a cheese that melts well, like cheddar, monterey jack, or a blend. For extra flavor, try a sharp cheese or a sprinkle of parmesan.
- Don't Overcook the Eggs: Keep your scrambled eggs soft and moist by removing them from heat when they're still slightly wet. They'll continue cooking from residual heat.
- Toast Hack: For extra crispiness, butter the English muffins before toasting for a golden, crispy exterior.
- Make-Ahead Friendly: Prepare these sandwiches in advance and wrap them individually in foil. They can be refrigerated for 2-3 days or frozen for up to a month. Reheat in the oven or microwave for a quick breakfast.
- Customize Your Sandwich: Add extras like sliced avocado, a dash of hot sauce, or some fresh herbs to make the recipe your own.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh broccoli and eggs will make a significant difference in the overall taste and texture of your sandwich.
