Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 English muffin
- 2 slices Bacon
- 1 Large egg
- 1 slice Cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the bacon slices in the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally, until they are crispy. Once done, remove bacon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
While the bacon is cooking, split the English muffin in half and toast each half until golden brown.
In the same skillet (remove excess bacon grease, leaving a little for flavor), melt the butter over low heat.
Crack the egg into the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolk is your desired doneness. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Place the slice of cheddar cheese on top of the egg and cover the skillet to allow the cheese to melt, about 1 minute.
Assemble the sandwich by layering the crispy bacon slices on the bottom half of the toasted English muffin.
Add the egg with melted cheese on top of the bacon.
Close the sandwich with the top half of the English muffin.
Serve immediately while warm.
