If your mornings feel rushed but your taste buds demand something extraordinary, the viral egg sandwich muffin is your dream come true. This melty, gooey breakfast creation is all over social media for a reason—it takes classic ingredients like eggs, cheese, and English muffins and turns them into a flavor-packed bite that’s irresistible.


Imagine biting into a toasted muffin stacked high with fluffy scrambled eggs and golden cheddar melting over the sides, all dusted with a savory everything seasoning. It’s breakfast comfort at its finest, and you can whip it up in minutes.
What Kind of Muffin Should I Use?
English muffins are the real MVP here. Their nooks and crannies perfectly catch all the gooey goodness, from melting cheese to a drizzle of hot sauce or butter. Go with a plain or whole wheat variety, or even try everything-seasoned English muffins for an extra flavor punch.
Ingredients for the Viral Egg Sandwich Muffin
Eggs – Fluffy, protein-packed eggs are the heart of this sandwich. Scrambled or fried, they bring the comfort.
Cheddar Cheese – A slice (or two) of sharp cheddar provides that drool-worthy melt and savory depth.
English Muffins – Toasted to golden brown perfection, they serve as the crispy and chewy base.
Butter – Helps toast the muffin and adds rich, golden flavor to each bite.
Everything Bagel Seasoning – Adds a crunchy texture and garlicky kick.
How To Make the Viral Egg Sandwich Muffin
Step 1: Toast and Prep the Muffin
Slice the English muffin in half and lightly butter each side. Toast in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown and crisp.
Step 2: Scramble the Eggs
Crack two eggs into a bowl and whisk until combined. Pour into a hot nonstick skillet. Stir gently with a spatula until soft, fluffy curds form. Fold the eggs into a square to fit the muffin.
Step 3: Add Cheese
Lay a slice of cheddar over the warm eggs. Let it melt slightly from the residual heat or cover with a lid for a few seconds to encourage full melt.
Step 4: Assemble and Season
Place the egg and cheese square on one muffin half, sprinkle with everything seasoning, and close it up with the other half. Press gently to marry all the layers.
Step 5: Heat Through
Pop the whole sandwich back into the skillet for 1 minute per side to warm it through and crisp the outside for extra flavor.

Serving and Storing Your Viral Egg Sandwich Muffin
Serve hot and fresh right off the pan for the best melty-cheese experience. If meal-prepping, let the sandwich cool completely before wrapping in foil or parchment. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for a month. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet—microwave if you must, but be prepared to lose a little crisp.
