Introduction

The 1-Minute Breakfast Sandwich is a quick and delicious way to start your day. With minimal prep and a few healthy additions, it makes the perfect portable breakfast for busy mornings.

A sandwich is shown with two lightly toasted round flatbreads as the top and bottom layers, both having a slightly rough texture. Inside, there are several layers starting with thin, bright orange carrot sticks at the bottom, followed by a cooked white egg with a soft yellow yolk in the middle. Above the egg, there is a layer of fresh green leafy spinach, topped with a large pile of fine, tangled green and white sprouts. The sandwich sits on brown parchment paper, placed on a white marbled surface. A white knife handle with a silver blade lies next to it, and a woman's hand is gently holding the bread at the back. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 English Muffin
1 Egg
1 slice Cheese
Fresh Spinach, to taste
Carrot, to taste
Alfalfa Sprouts, to taste
Butter, to taste
Mayonnaise, to taste
Sea Salt, to taste
Ground Black Pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Place a small pat of butter in the bottom of a small round microwave-safe dish. Crack the egg into the dish, then season with sea salt and ground black pepper. Cover the dish and microwave for 20 to 30 seconds until the egg is cooked.
Step 2: While the egg cooks, toast the English muffin in your toaster until golden and crisp.
Step 3: Spread mayonnaise on both halves of the toasted muffin. Run a butter knife around the edge of the egg dish to loosen the cooked egg, then place the egg on one half of the muffin.
Step 4: Top the egg with a slice of cheese, fresh spinach, grated carrot, and alfalfa sprouts to taste.
Step 5: Close the sandwich with the other muffin half. Wrap it in parchment paper if you’re taking it on the go, and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

Try swapping the cheese for a slice of avocado or tomato for a fresh twist.
Use whole wheat or gluten-free English muffins for a healthier or allergy-friendly option.
Add a dash of hot sauce or mustard for extra flavor.
If you prefer a firmer egg, microwave in 10-second increments until desired doneness.

Storage

This breakfast sandwich is best enjoyed immediately for optimal freshness. If you need to store it, wrap it tightly in parchment or foil and keep refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Reheat in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds before eating.
