Ingredients
Pimento Cheese Spread
- 1/2 cup freshly-shredded mild or sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons jarred pimentos, drained
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- Pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Breakfast Sandwich
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 6 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 4 English muffins, split and toasted
- 1 cup spring greens mix
- 1 medium avocado, pitted and thinly sliced
- 4 strips bacon, cooked until your desired crispiness
Instructions
Pimento Cheese
- In a medium bowl, combine all cheese ingredients until creamy and combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Melt butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Swirl to evenly coat pan. Pour beaten eggs into pan and allow to cook 1-2 minutes until beginning to set. Use a spatula to lift omelet edges and tilt pan to allow uncooked egg to run underneath. Once eggs are completely set, fold omelet into thirds and transfer to a cutting board. Season eggs with salt and pepper to taste and cut into 4 equal squares.
- Divide pimento cheese between toasted English muffin halves, spreading in an even layer on each half. Top each bottom half with a handful of greens, an omelet slice, a few avocado slices, and a bacon strip. Replace English muffin tops and serve breakfast sandwiches immediately. Enjoy!
