Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, mash 1/4 ripe avocado with a pinch of salt and black pepper until creamy but still a little chunky.
  2. Step 2: In a small skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tsp butter. Crack 1 large egg into the skillet and cook until the white is set but yolk is still runny, about 3 minutes. Optionally baste with hot butter for firmer yolk.
  3. Step 3: While the egg cooks, toast 2 halves of an English muffin until golden brown.
  4. Step 4: Mix 1 tbsp mayonnaise with 1 tsp sriracha sauce to make spicy mayo.
  5. Step 5: Spread the spicy mayo on both English muffin halves, then layer the mashed avocado on the bottom half, top with the fried egg, 1 slice sharp cheddar cheese, and close with the top half. Serve immediately.
