The Great Egg Patty Caper: Ingredients You'll Need
- Eggs: This one's a no-brainer. But for best results, use large eggs that are nice and fresh.
- Water: Our secret weapon for achieving that perfect patty consistency. Don't worry, it won't make your eggs watery!
- Salt and Pepper: Because bland eggs are a breakfast crime. Season to taste, but remember, a little goes a long way.
- Non-Stick Cooking Spray: Your knight in shining armor to prevent any unfortunate egg-splosion disasters.
- A trusty frying pan: Preferably non-stick as well. We're all about minimizing cleaning up after our breakfast adventures.
Optional, But Oh-So-Worth-It Additions:
Tip: Focus on one point at a time.
- Shredded Cheese: Because cheese makes everything better. Cheddar, pepper jack, or even a fancy Gruyere, the choice is yours!
- Diced Ham or Sausage: For those who crave a little more meaty magic in their mornings.
- Chopped Veggies: Bell peppers, onions, mushrooms – add some veggie power to your patty!
The Scramble is On: Putting It All Together
- Crack those Eggs! In a bowl, whisk together your eggs with a splash (about a tablespoon) of water. This adds a touch of volume and helps the patty cook evenly.
- Spice it Up! Now's the time to add your salt and pepper. Remember, you can always add more later, but you can't take it away (unless you're some kind of egg-mancy master, but that's a story for another day).
- Cheese, Please? If you're feeling fancy, fold in your shredded cheese or diced meat/veggies at this point.
- Heat it Up! Get your pan nice and hot over medium heat. Don't forget the non-stick spray – a light coating is all you need.
- The Big Pour: Carefully pour your egg mixture into the pan, aiming for a nice, even circle. This is where your inner artist can shine (or at least create a respectable circle).
- The Patience Test (Kind Of): Resist the urge to poke and prod! Let the egg cook undisturbed for a minute or two. You'll know it's ready to flip when the edges start to set.
- The Flip Flop: Using a spatula (a wide one works best), carefully flip your egg patty. Give it another minute or two to cook through on the other side.
- Victory Lap (Optional): If you're feeling extra fancy, you can add a slice of cheese on top of the patty during the last minute of cooking for melty goodness.
And Voila! Your very own homemade Subway-inspired egg patty is ready to conquer any breakfast sandwich. Top it with your favorite toppings, pile it high on toasted bread, and savor your breakfast masterpiece.
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.
