Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 English muffin or hamburger bun
- 1 Large egg
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 2 slices Cooked bacon, ham, or sausage patty
- 1 Cheddar or American cheese slice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Non-stick cooking spray or additional butter
Instructions
Slice your English muffin or hamburger bun in half and toast it lightly in a toaster or on a skillet over medium heat until golden brown. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and apply non-stick cooking spray or a teaspoon of butter.
Crack the egg into a small bowl and whisk lightly with a fork. Add salt and pepper to season.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan slightly to spread it evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges set.
Gently flip the egg using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fully cooked through. Fold the egg into a square to fit the bun and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the cooked bacon, ham, or sausage patty for 1-2 minutes until warm.
Place the bottom half of the toasted bun on a plate. Layer it with the folded egg, heated meat, and a slice of cheese.
Cover the sandwich with the top half of the bun. If desired, wrap it in foil to allow the cheese to melt, or serve immediately.
Enjoy your delicious breakfast on a bun!
