Start with your carb

— a toasted bun, sourdough slice, English muffin, or biscuit. Something sturdy enough to hold it all together.Next comes the egg — I go for over-easy (runny yolk, always), but scrambled or hard-cooked works too. Just don’t skip the cheese—melted sharp cheddar or gouda is ideal.
Now your protein — bacon, sausage, or chorizo are classics, but don’t be afraid to get creative.Add a layer of fat — avocado, a swipe of mayo, butter, or even garlic aioli. This is where the

richness comes in.
Toss on some greens — arugula, spinach, or a few crunchy pea shoots give it lift and texture.
Finish strong with your go-to hot sauce — something to cut through the richness and wake everything up.
