REAL breakfast muffin

I've been making variations of this for breakfast the past few weeks. Basically, it's an English muffin with a fried egg, 2 slices of ham, peanut butter and either avocado or spinach. It's filling, nutritious and relatively healthy.

I fry the egg runny, add pepper and a dash of cayenne. No salt is needed for the egg because you get the salt from the ham. After the egg is done, lightly brown the ham to warm it up a bit and toast your muffins. Spread some peanut butter on one side of the muffin and lay down some spinach or avocado slices.

Be careful when eating the completed breakfast muffin if you fried your egg runny! You may get egg yolk splattered all over your shirt. I've tried cream cheese instead of the peanut butter which also turned out well. What do you eat for breakfast everyday?
