2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1–2 teaspoons chipotle sauce (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon butter

3. Toast the Buns

Lightly butter the inside of brioche buns and toast in skillet until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, crack eggs and cook to your desired doneness. For a classic breakfast sandwich texture, scramble gently until soft and fluffy. Season with salt and pepper.

5. Melt the Cheese

Place a slice of cheddar over eggs during the last minute of cooking to melt.

Spread chipotle sauce on bottom bun. Add eggs with melted cheese, crispy bacon, and avocado slices if using. Top with remaining bun.

7. Serve Immediately
