Equipment
01 / 05
Preheat the pie iron
Separate the pudgy pie iron into two halves and set each over a campfire or open-flame stove burner to preheat for a few minutes. If over a campfire, you want them over an area of strong warm coals, not extreme direct flame. If using a burner, keep it on medium-low heat.

Grease the pie iron
Once hot, blow or brush out any ash that’s fallen onto the pie iron halves. Add a generous amount of cooking oil to each iron, enough to coat the entire surface generously but not pool too much. Swirl the oil around to make sure the sides are well coated, then position the pie irons back on the fire grate or burner.
03 / 05
Add the Just Egg
Carefully pour about 3 tablespoons of Just Egg to each half. The exact amount will depend on the size and shape of your pie iron. Just keep in mind that the egg will bubble and expand as it cooks, so you’ll need to leave enough room so that it doesn’t overflow. Let the egg cook until the liquid is almost completely set – this should take less than 5 minutes, depending on the heat of your fire. Remove the pie irons from the heat and let them sit for 2 to 3 more minutes to set completely.

Toast the bread
While the eggs set, lightly toast the English muffins on the fire grate.

Assemble the sandwich
Layer one half of the English muffin with sliced avocado and season with salt and pepper. Transfer both egg patties from the pie iron onto the bread. If you’re having any issues with the egg sticking to the pie iron, use a spoon to loosen the edges of the egg patty and scoop it out. Add a slice of tomato and a drizzle of hot sauce if desired. Close the sandwich and enjoy!
