Ingredients
  

For the Sandwiches
  • 1 cup cheddar and monterey jack cheese, shredded
  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 tablespoon cilantro, roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon green onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 pinch fresh ground black pepper
  • 8 strips raw bacon
  • 4 english muffins, cut in half
For the Chipotle Sauce
  • 1 chipotle in adobo, most seeds removed can slowly add back in until you reach desired spicy level
  • 1/4 teaspoon chipotle in adobo sauce
  • 2 cups plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro
  • 2 cloves garlic

Equipment

  • 9x13 casserole dish
  • Baking sheet
  • Food processor
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9X13 inch casserole dish.
  2. Line a baking sheet with foil. Lay bacon strips on top. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, diced bell peppers, sliced green onion, chopped cilantro, ½ cup of the shredded cheese blend, and black pepper until combined.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Place both the casserole dish and the bacon sheet into the preheated oven.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the bacon is cooked to your desired crispiness. Place the English muffins in the oven for the last 3-4 minutes to toast.
  6. While the bacon and eggs are baking, prepare the chipotle sauce. Add the chipotle pepper in adobo, chipotle adobo sauce, garlic, yogurt, and cilantro to a food processor. Pulse until completely combined. Season with salt to taste and set aside.
  7. Remove the cooked bacon from the oven and place it on a surface lined with paper towels. Cover with another paper towel and set aside.
  8. Using a knife or a cookie cutter, cut circles out of the baked egg scramble casserole. Aim for a size similar to your English muffins.
  9. Assemble your sandwiches: Place one egg scramble circle on the bottom half of a toasted English muffin. Add a sprinkle of the remaining shredded cheese, then spread a generous dollop of the chipotle sauce on top. Add a couple of bacon strips and garnish with fresh cilantro. Top with the other half of the English muffin and serve immediately.

Notes

These sandwiches are best served immediately. You can adjust the spice level of the chipotle sauce by adding more or fewer seeds from the chipotle pepper in adobo.
