Ingredients
Scale
Sandwich Components
- 2 brioche buns or soft sandwich rolls
- 4 slices American or cheddar cheese
- ½ avocado, sliced
- ½ cup caramelized onions
- ¼ cup sriracha mayo (mix 3 tablespoons mayo with 1 tablespoon sriracha)
- optional: chopped chives or hot sauce for garnish
Egg Mixture
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons whole milk or cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk or cream, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
- Cook the Eggs: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Pour in the egg mixture and cook gently, folding the eggs occasionally to create soft, fluffy curds, for about 2 to 3 minutes until just set.
- Melt the Cheese: Lay the slices of American or cheddar cheese over the scrambled eggs in the skillet. Cover the pan and allow the cheese to melt fully while keeping the eggs warm.
- Toast the Buns: Toast the brioche buns until they are golden and slightly crisp on the surface for added texture.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Spread the sriracha mayo evenly on the bottom halves of the toasted buns. Layer on the caramelized onions first, followed by the cheesy scrambled eggs, then top with sliced avocado. Add any optional garnishes like chopped chives or a dash of hot sauce if desired.
- Serve: Close the sandwich with the top halves of the buns and serve immediately while warm, accompanied by extra sriracha mayo or hot sauce for dipping or drizzling.
Notes
- Caramelize onions ahead of time and refrigerate to reduce preparation time on busy mornings.
- For additional protein, add crispy bacon or breakfast sausage to the sandwich.
- To make this sandwich vegetarian, use plant-based eggs and vegan cheese alternatives.
