Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon chipotle sauce
• 1 slice of cheese (like cheddar or pepper jack)
• 1 sandwich bun or bagel
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Butter or oil for cooking

How to make it

1. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt, pepper, and chipotle sauce.

3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and scramble until fully cooked.
4. Toast the sandwich bun or bagel.
5. Layer the scrambled eggs on the bun, top with cheese, and allow to melt slightly before closing the sandwich.

How to serve it

This sandwich is best enjoyed hot, straight from the skillet. You can serve it alongside a fresh fruit salad or a hot cup of coffee for a complete breakfast experience.

How to store it

If you have leftovers, store the eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. However, it is best to enjoy the sandwich fresh, as the texture may change when reheated.

Helpful tips

• If you prefer your eggs with a fluffier texture, whisk them vigorously before cooking.
• Adjust the amount of chipotle sauce according to your spice preference.

Optional variations

• For added flavor, consider adding some sautéed vegetables, such as bell peppers or onions, to the egg mixture.
• You can swap out the cheese for a different flavor to match your taste, such as gouda or mozzarella.
• If you like a bit of freshness, add slices of avocado or a handful of spinach as a topping.
