Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Your Protein. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat with oil/spray. Cook egg to your preference (fried or scrambled). Cook turkey bacon/sausage until done. Season egg with salt and pepper.
- Step 2: Toast Your Bread. While protein cooks, toast your English muffin or bread until golden and crisp.
- Step 3: Assemble Your Layers. Immediately place cheese on one half of the hot toast to melt. On the other half, layer fresh greens.
- Step 4: Add Protein and Sauce. Place cooked egg and meat (if using) on top of the melting cheese. Mix ‘secret sauce’ ingredients and spread on the greens.
- Step 5: Combine and Serve. Bring the two halves together. If needed, briefly return to the warm pan or toaster oven to fully melt cheese. Serve immediately.
