    Recipe tips

    • If scrambled eggs aren't your favorite feel free to add a fried egg with a runny yolk or even a chopped hard boil egg.
    • To toast several English muffin halves at once place them on a sheet pan and broil for 1-2 minutes or until the desired doneness.
    • Add some leftover Pulled Pork or Honey Glazed Ham instead of bacon.

    Recipe Faq's

    What is an open-faced sandwich?

    A form of some type of breading with one or more toppings on top.

    Can I use a different bread?

    Sure, bagels work great, or pile it all on some bread slices toasted to perfection.

    How to choose an avocado

    A ripe avocado will have a little give when lightly pressed and be a dark green. If it looks black and mushy it is overripe.
