Ingredients

• 4 English muffins
• 4 large eggs
• 1 large heirloom tomato
• 1 cup fresh sweet corn kernels
• 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
• 3 tbsp mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp chili crisp
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
• 8 fresh basil leaves
• 3/4 tsp kosher salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 scallion

Instructions

1. 1Slice the heirloom tomato into four thick rounds and sprinkle lightly with salt; set on a paper towel to release excess moisture. Thinly slice the scallion.
2. 2Stir the mayonnaise together with half the chili crisp in a small bowl to make a quick spicy spread.
3. 3Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add the olive oil and the corn kernels. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the corn chars in spots and turns fragrant. Season with salt and transfer to a plate.
4. 4Split and toast the English muffins until golden. Spread the chili-mayo on both cut sides of each muffin.
5. 5Wipe the skillet and melt half the butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs in and cook undisturbed 2 minutes until the edges turn lacy and crisp.
6. 6Add a tiny spoon of the remaining chili crisp beside each yolk if desired. Cover and cook 1 more minute so the whites finish but yolks stay runny. Season with salt and pepper.
7. 7Place a cheese slice on the bottom muffin halves so residual heat starts to melt it. Top with a tomato round, a spoonful of charred corn, a crispy egg, a couple of basil leaves, and a sprinkle of scallion.
8. 8Cap with the muffin tops, press gently, and serve immediately while the egg yolk is still soft and the cheese is melty. Perfect for grabbing on busy back-to-school mornings.
