1
Prepare the Eggs
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little butter. Pour in the eggs and scramble until cooked to your preference.
2
Cook the Meat (if using)
In the same skillet, cook the bacon, chorizo, sausage, or scrapple until crispy or fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
3
Toast the Bread
In the same skillet, add a bit more butter if needed and toast the bread slices or English muffin until golden brown.
4
Assemble the Sandwich
Place the scrambled eggs on one slice of toasted bread. Top with a slice of American cheese and the cooked meat (if using). Cover with the second slice of bread or the other half of the muffin.
5
Serve
Cut the sandwich in half if desired and serve hot.
