Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces English muffins
- 4 large Eggs
- 8 pieces Bacon slices
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a muffin tin or ramekins with cooking spray.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the milk and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Reduce heat to low and add the cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese. Stir until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Split the English muffins in half and toast them to golden brown using a toaster or in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 5-7 minutes.
Place a piece of crispy bacon at the bottom of each prepared muffin tin or ramekin. Carefully crack an egg over the top of each slice of bacon.
Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny (adjust baking time based on preferred doneness).
Remove the baked eggs and bacon from the oven. Carefully use a knife or spatula to loosen and lift them out of the muffin tin or ramekins.
Place one baked egg and bacon layer on top of each toasted English muffin half.
Generously spoon the cheese sauce over each portion, allowing it to drizzle down the sides.
Garnish with chopped chives and serve immediately.
