Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 large Brioche Bun Sliced and buttered
  • 1 large Egg Farm fresh for best yolk color
  • 1 thick slice Sharp Yellow Cheddar Cheese Aged for better flavor
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Avocado Oil Or unsalted butter for frying
Chipotle Mayo
  • 2 tbsp (30g) Mayonnaise Full fat preferred
  • 1 tsp (5g) Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Finely minced
Seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp (0.5g) Dried Cilantro Flakes
  • 1/8 tsp (0.3g) Cracked Black Pepper Freshly ground

Equipment

  • 1 Non-stick skillet 8-inch or cast iron
  • 1 Small mixing bowl For the sauce
  • 1 Offset Spatula To flip the egg safely

Method
 

Prep the Sauce and Bun
  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and minced chipotle peppers until a creamy, uniform orange tint is achieved.
  2. Place buttered brioche halves in a skillet over medium-high heat until deep golden brown. Spread chipotle mayo on the bottom bun.
Fry the Egg
  1. Add oil to the skillet. Crack the egg into the hot oil; it should sizzle immediately to create crispy, lacey edges.
  2. Once the whites are mostly set, place the cheddar slice over the egg. Cover with a lid for 30 seconds to drape the cheese.
Assemble
  1. Sprinkle dried cilantro and black pepper over the melted cheese and egg.
  2. Slide the egg onto the dressed bottom bun and place the top bun slightly offset for a professional look.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for a more even cook and more vibrant yolk.
If the chipotle is too intense, balance with a small drop of honey or maple syrup.
