Ingredients
1 Gluten-Free English Muffin (or 2 slices of Gluten-Free Bread)
1 large egg
1 slice cheddar cheese (or your favorite variety)
2 slices Canadian bacon (or 1 cooked sausage patty or 2 strips cooked bacon)
1 teaspoon butter (or avocado oil)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Toast the Muffin: Heat the butter or oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat. Split your gluten-free English muffin and place both halves cut-side down in the hot pan. Toast for 1-2 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Remove the muffin halves to a plate.
2. Heat the Protein: Place the Canadian bacon slices (or sausage patty) in the same skillet. Cook for 30-60 seconds per side until warmed through. Place the protein on the bottom half of your toasted muffin.
3. Cook the Egg: Crack the egg directly into the same skillet. You can break the yolk with your spatula for an “over-hard” style or gently scramble it in the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the white is set and the egg is cooked to your liking.
4. Melt the Cheese: Place the slice of cheese on top of the cooking egg during the last 30 seconds. This allows it to get perfectly melty.
5. Assemble: Slide the cheesy egg directly onto the protein. If you are using spinach or avocado, add them now. Top with the other half of the English muffin and serve immediately.
Notes
Add-Ins: Feel free to add a few slices of avocado, a small handful of fresh spinach (toss in the pan for 30 seconds to wilt), or a slice of fresh tomato.
Protein Swap: This works great with gluten-free breakfast sausage, regular bacon, or even leftover deli ham.
Make-Ahead: Assemble the sandwiches completely, wrap them tightly in foil, and store them in the freezer. To reheat, unwrap and microwave for 1-2 minutes or until hot.
