Introduction
has become my absolute go-to for busy mornings (and let's be honest, sometimes dinner too!). I discovered this combo during Ramadan last year when I needed something substantial but quick for suhoor. The seasoned halal beef practically dances with the fluffy scrambled eggs, while the toasted English muffin adds that perfect crunch — honestly, it's like a halal version of those famous golden arches breakfast sandwiches, but SO much better. My kids actually fight over these now, which... well, I guess that's a good problem to have?
Timing
- Prep time: 10 minutes
- Cook time: 15 minutes
- Total time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb ground halal beef (80/20 fat ratio works best)
- 4 English muffins, split (whole wheat if you're feeling virtuous)
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tbsp milk (any kind works, I've even used oat milk!)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 2 tbsp butter, divided
- 4 slices halal cheese (optional but recommended)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Season the Beef
Mix the ground beef with half the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Break it up real good with your hands — yes, get in there! It should feel like playing with playdough (though maybe don't tell your guests that part 😅).
Step 2: Cook the Beef
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned beef and break it into small pieces as it cooks. You want it nice and crumbly — about 6-8 minutes until it's got those crispy brown bits that make everything better. Set aside but keep warm.
Step 3: Prep the Eggs
Whisk those eggs like they owe you money! Add the milk, remaining seasonings, and beat until frothy. The secret? A splash more milk than you think you need makes them extra fluffy.
Step 4: Cook the Eggs
In the same pan (because who wants to wash two pans?), melt 1 tbsp butter over medium-low heat. Pour in eggs, and using a spatula, gently push them around. Don't rush this part! Low and slow wins the race for creamy eggs. About 3-4 minutes till they're just set but still glossy.
Step 5: Assembly Time!
Toast those muffins until they're golden brown. Layer the bottom half with beef, add the scrambled eggs, top with cheese if using (and why wouldn't you?), Easy Halal Beef & Scrambled Egg English Muffin Breakfast Sandwich and crown with the muffin top. If you're feeling fancy, wrap them in foil for a few minutes — the steam makes everything meld together perfectly
