Ingredients
  

For the Sandwiches

  • - 1 cup shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese
  • - 4 large eggs beaten
  • - ¼ cup milk
  • - ¼ cup red bell pepper diced
  • - ¼ cup green bell pepper diced
  • - 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro roughly chopped
  • - 1 tablespoon green onion thinly sliced
  • - Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • - 8 strips halal turkey ham
  • - 4 English muffins halved

For the Chipotle Sauce

  • - 1 chipotle pepper in adobo most seeds removed
  • - ¼ teaspoon adobo sauce
  • - 2 cups plain yogurt
  • - 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
  • - 2 garlic cloves
  • - Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Arrange the turkey ham strips in a single layer and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, green onion, cilantro, ½ cup of the shredded cheese, and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Place both the egg mixture and turkey ham in the oven.
  • Bake the eggs for about 15–20 minutes, or until completely set. Heat the turkey ham until lightly browned around the edges. Cooking time can vary depending on its thickness.
  • Place the English muffin halves in the oven during the final 3–4 minutes so they become lightly toasted.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the chipotle sauce. Add the chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, garlic, yogurt, and cilantro to a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, then season with salt.
  • Remove the baked eggs from the oven. Use a round cookie cutter or knife to cut four portions approximately the same size as the English muffins.
  • To assemble the Chipotle Egg Scramble Breakfast Sandwiches, place one baked egg portion onto the bottom half of each toasted English muffin.
  • Sprinkle with the remaining cheese, add a generous spoonful of chipotle yogurt sauce, and top with two strips of warm turkey ham. Add fresh cilantro if desired.
  • Finish with the remaining English muffin halves and serve warm.

Notes

For a lighter sandwich, use reduced-fat cheese and low-fat plain yogurt. Greek yogurt can also replace regular yogurt for a thicker, richer chipotle sauce.
Serve this chipotle breakfast sandwich with fresh fruit, roasted potatoes, sliced avocado, or a simple green salad. For an extra vegetable boost, try adding finely chopped spinach or mushrooms to the egg mixture.
The sauce recipe makes a generous amount, so leftover sauce can be refrigerated and served with roasted vegetables, wraps, chicken, or grain bowls.
