Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 English muffins
- 2 Eggs
- 4 Bacon strips
- 2 Cheddar cheese slices
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Add the bacon strips to the skillet and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
Lightly spread 1 tablespoon of butter on each half of the English muffins.
Place the buttered muffins in the skillet, cut side down, and toast them for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the vegetable oil and heat over medium-low heat.
Crack the eggs into the skillet and season with salt and black pepper. Cook the eggs to your preference: sunny-side-up or over-easy typically works best for sandwiches, about 2-3 minutes for slightly runny yolks.
Place one slice of cheddar cheese on top of each egg during the final minute of cooking to allow it to melt slightly.
Assemble the sandwich: place two bacon strips on the bottom half of each toasted muffin, followed by the cheesy egg, then top with the other half of the muffin.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your delicious bacon and egg muffin.
