Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces English muffins
- 2 large Eggs
- 4 slices Bacon strips
- 2 slices American cheese
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Pepper
Instructions
Preheat your skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Add the bacon strips to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are crispy. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels.
While the bacon is cooking, cut the English muffins in half and toast them either in a toaster or under a broiler until lightly golden.
Butter the cut sides of the toasted English muffins and set aside.
Using the same skillet, drain excess bacon grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan, and decrease the heat to medium-low.
Crack each egg into the skillet, taking care not to break the yolk. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Cook the eggs for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking.
Assemble the McMuffins by placing a slice of cheese on the bottom halves of the toasted English muffins.
Place an egg on top of the cheese, followed by two slices of bacon.
Top with the other half of the English muffin, serve immediately, and enjoy your homemade bacon and egg McMuffin!
