Ingredients
Scale
2 English muffins, split
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 slices cheddar cheese or Swiss cheese
4 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
Pinch salt
Pinch black pepper
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until melted.
Crack the four large eggs directly into the heated skillet and gently break the yolks with a spatula. Evenly distribute the cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, salt, and black pepper over the eggs.
Immediately place the split English muffin halves, cut-side down, onto the uncooked side of the eggs, ensuring direct contact.
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the eggs are mostly set and the bottoms of the muffins are lightly toasted.
Using a wide spatula, carefully invert the entire egg-muffin assembly so the English muffins are now on the skillet surface and the eggs are facing upward.
Place one slice of cheddar or Swiss cheese over each egg portion.
Fold the cooked edges of the eggs neatly over the muffins, then press the muffin halves together to form sandwiches.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan and toast the assembled sandwiches on both sides until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted, about 2 minutes per side.
Transfer sandwiches to plates and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
Feel free to add vegetables or herbs for extra flavor.
To make it spicier, add a dash of hot sauce to the eggs.
