Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 English muffin
- 1 Large egg
- 1 Cheddar cheese slice
- 1 teaspoon Butter
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 spritz Cooking spray
- 1 Optional cooked ham, bacon, or sausage patty
Instructions
Toast the English muffin until golden brown and set aside.
Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with a spritz of cooking spray.
Crack the egg into the skillet and break the yolk with a fork if you prefer a fully cooked egg. Season the egg with salt and black pepper.
Cook the egg for 1-2 minutes until the bottom is set, then carefully flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fully cooked through.
While the egg is finishing, spread the butter evenly on one half of the toasted English muffin.
Place the cooked egg on the bottom half of the English muffin. Add the slice of cheddar cheese on top of the egg to allow it to melt slightly.
If using an optional protein like ham, bacon, or sausage, add it over the cheese.
Cap the sandwich with the remaining half of the English muffin.
Serve immediately and enjoy your faster egg muffin as an easy breakfast or on-the-go snack!
