Method
Egg mixture
- 1
Whisk eggs
Crack 3 large eggs into a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons whole milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Whisk until yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.

Cook eggs
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon butter. Once melted and foaming, pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let eggs sit undisturbed for 10–15 seconds, then gently stir with a silicone spatula, pushing cooked edges to the center. Continue to cook slowly, folding and stirring, until eggs are softly set but still moist, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat (they will continue to cook in residual heat) and set aside.

Sauté mushrooms and tomatoes
While eggs are cooking (or beforehand), heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms release moisture and begin to brown, about 4–5 minutes. Add the halved cherry tomatoes (or diced tomato) and cook another 1 minute just to warm and soften—avoid overcooking so tomatoes keep texture.

Assemble sandwich
Place one toasted muffin half on a plate. Layer half of the cooked eggs on the bottom half, followed by half of the sautéed vegetable mixture. Top with 1 ounce (about half) of sharp cheddar cheese and sprinkle with 1/2 tablespoon sunflower seeds. Add the remaining eggs on top of the cheese/veggies if you prefer extra egg, or place the top muffin half directly if you used all eggs already. Repeat for the second sandwich if making two servings.

Melt cheese (optional)
If you prefer melted cheese, return the assembled open-faced sandwich to the warm skillet (covered) for 30–60 seconds, or place under a broiler for 20–30 seconds until cheese softens and melts. Then top with the remaining muffin half.
