Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich with Smoked Scallion Sauce is packed with flavor from the incredible smoky tomato sauce. Smoked paprika is the secret to the sauce!
Slice the scallions thin, separating the white and the green parts.
In a large skillet over low heat, heat the olive oil.. Add the white part of the scallions and the garlic. Stir and then cover and cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, until tender. Add the smoked paprika and stir for about 1 minute.
Add the tomatoes, and bring to a simmer. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until the tomatoes are soft and the mixture looks "saucy" about 10 minutes. Add the scallion green parts and cook those until tender, about 2 more minutes.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and let cool to room temperature.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil then add the butter to melt. In a bowl, beat the eggs with a fork and add them to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium-low heat until they start to harden, about 4-5 minutes. Cook until the eggs are just set, about 1 minute longer.
Place 1 slice of cheese on the bottom of each English muffin. Top each piece of cheese with 1 tablespoon of sauce, then half of the eggs. Repeat with the remaining cheese, sauce and eggs. Replace the muffin tops and serve with any remaining sauce.
