- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 avocado (sliced)
- 1 small tomato (sliced)

Instructions
- Cook the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage patties or bacon until browned and fully cooked. Set aside.
- Prepare Eggs: Wipe out the skillet and melt butter. Crack in the eggs and cook to your preference—fried, scrambled, or over easy. Season with salt and pepper.
- Toast English Muffins: While eggs cook, toast the English muffins and prepare any toppings.
