What you will need
Eggs: You will need about four eggs to scramble for this breakfast sandwich.
Cream Cheese: Cream cheese is spread onto the bread to create a creamy layer.
Jalapenos: Two jalapenos work perfectly for a medium sized French baguette of bread. It will give you a single layer of roasted jalapenos. But you can make more or less depending on bread size and personal preference.
Bacon: Gives those jalapeno popper vibes! I like 4 crispy slices of uncured bacon. You can go with your favorite bacon, and add more or less to personalize this spicy breakfast sandwich.
Cheddar Cheese: Cheddar cheese melted over the eggs is just pure perfection!
Bread: Choose a hearty bread such as ciabatta, French or sourdough bread. This is a loaded breakfast sandwich and a good bread is the base that hold all the goodness together.
Milk: A little bit of milk is mixed with the eggs before cooking to help create fluffy eggs.
Chives: Adds a little more flavor to the eggs. You can omit if you wish.
Avocado Oil: A touch of avocado oil is needed to roast the jalapenos. I also like to add a little to my pan that cook the eggs in instead of butter.
Salt and Pepper: Enhances the flavors.
Tips and tricks
- I love the convenience of roasting the jalapeno in the air fryer to save time, but you still roast them in the oven. To do this, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Prepare and oil the jalapenos as the recipe follows for the air fryer. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and roast for 15-20 minutes or until the jalapenos are soft and starting brown.
- Using gloves while cutting cup the jalapenos will help prevent you from accidently touching your face (or eyes!). If you skip the gloves, just be sure to wash your hands immediately after handling the jalapenos and be cautious not to touch anything prior to washing.
- I usually remove all the seeds and membrane from the jalapeno but feel free to leave some to increase the spicy level if you wish!
- Shred your own cheddar cheese if possible! Pre-shredded cheese might save a few minutes in time but it often times have a anti-caking agent on it that may interfere with the melting of the cheese.
