Begin by preparing the bacon. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon strips until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Once done, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess grease.
While the bacon cooks, slice the English muffins in half and toast them until golden brown.
In a small non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, taking care to keep the yolks intact. Cook until the whites are set and the yolks reach your desired level of doneness, approximately 3-4 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of each egg and cover the skillet with a lid for about 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted.
Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on each bottom half of the toasted English muffins.
To assemble the sandwich, place one cheese-topped egg onto the mayonnaise side of each muffin base. Break the bacon strips in half and layer them on top of the cheese and egg.
Complete your sandwich with optional slices of tomato or lettuce for added freshness, then place the top half of the English muffin onto the bacon.
Serve the English muffin sandwiches immediately while hot, and enjoy your delicious breakfast!
