Ingredients

  • 6 Large Eggs (room temperature)

  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Chives (finely chopped)
  • 12 ounces Lean Ground Beef (90 % lean, 10 % fat)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt (for beef mixture)
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley (chopped)

  • 6 Cheddar Cheese Slice (standard size, meltable)
  • 1 spray Cooking Spray (high‑heat spray for pan)

Instructions

  1. Bake the Egg Base

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Crack six large eggs into a mixing bowl, whisk until fully blended, then season with 1/4 tsp salt and 2 tbsp chopped chives. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, pour the egg mixture onto the sheet, spreading it into an even thin layer. Bake for 10‑12 minutes, until the eggs are set and lightly golden.

    Time: PT15M

    Temperature: 350°F

  2. Prepare the Beef Patty Mixture

    While the eggs bake, place 12 oz lean ground beef in a bowl. Add 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tbsp chopped parsley, 1 tbsp chipotle paste, and 1 tsp honey. Mix with hands until the color darkens slightly and the ingredients are evenly distributed.

    Time: PT5M

  3. Form and Cook the Patties

    Divide the seasoned beef into six equal portions and shape each into a flat patty about the size of an English muffin half. Heat a skillet over high heat, lightly coat with cooking spray, and sear each patty for 2 minutes on each side until a crispy brown crust forms. Remove from heat and set aside.

    Time: PT4M

    Temperature: high heat

  4. Toast Muffins & Make Sriracha Mayo

    Split the English muffins and toast them until lightly golden. In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp mayonnaise with 1 tbsp sriracha; stir until smooth.

    Time: PT5M

  5. Assemble the McMuffins

    On the bottom half of each toasted muffin, spread a thin layer of sriracha mayo, place a cheese slice, add a beef patty, top with a square of baked egg, then drizzle a little extra sriracha mayo if desired. Cap with the top muffin half.

    Time: PT5M

  6. Wrap for Storage and Reheat

    Wrap each assembled sandwich tightly in aluminum foil. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, place foil‑wrapped muffins on a baking tray and bake at 350°F for 2 minutes, or microwave for 45 seconds.

    Time: PT2M
