Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 English muffin
- 1 Egg
- 2 slices Bacon
- 1 slice Cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Butter
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Cooking oil
Instructions
1. Split the English muffin in half and lightly spread butter on the cut sides.
2. Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Toast the English muffin butter-side down until golden and crispy, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the bacon slices and cook over medium heat until crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Flip as needed to prevent burning. Once cooked, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
4. Wipe out the skillet if needed, then add 1 teaspoon of cooking oil. Crack the egg into the skillet and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook the egg to your desired preference: sunny-side up, over-easy, or fully cooked.
5. While the egg cooks, place the slice of cheddar cheese on one half of the toasted English muffin so it begins to melt.
6. Assemble the muffin: Place the cooked bacon on top of the cheese, add the cooked egg, and top with the second half of the English muffin.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your quick and satisfying bacon egg muffin!
